[PATCH v2 0/4] drm/dp: Rework LTTPR transparent mode handling and add support to msm driver

[PATCH v2 0/4] drm/dp: Rework LTTPR transparent mode handling and add support to msm driver

[Abel Vesa]

Looking at both i915 and nouveau DP drivers, both are setting the first
LTTPR (if found) in transparent mode first and then in non-transparent
mode, just like the DP v2.0 specification mentions in section 3.6.6.1.

Being part of the standard, setting the LTTPR in a specific operation mode
can be easily moved in the generic framework. So do that by adding a new
helper.

Then, the msm DP driver is lacking any kind of support for LTTPR handling,
so add it by reading the LTTPR caps for figuring out the number of LTTPRs
found on plug detect and then do exactly what the i915 and nouveau drivers
do with respect to toggling through operating modes, just like the
up-mentioned section from DP spec describes.

At some point, link training per sub-segment will probably be needed, but
for now, toggling the operating modes seems to be enough at least for the
X Elite-based platforms that this patchset has been tested on.

Changes in v2:
- Added new wrapper over the set_transparent new helper in order to
  move the non-transparent disable and the its enable->disable sequence
  mentioned in the DP standard section 3.6.6.1 entirely in the generic
  implemetation.
- Switch all 3 drivers to use the new wrapper.
- Fixed the return value of the helper to return 0 on success and
  negative value on error.
- Added explanation about the transparent/non-transparent modes into the
  msm dp commit message.
- Dropped the condition for non-eDP in msm DP driver since it is allowed
  to try to get the number of LTTPRs even on eDP and it will be always
  0 anyway.
- Dropped the RFC prefix
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241031-drm-dp-msm-add-lttpr-transparent-mode-set-v1-0-cafbb9855f40@linaro.org

[PATCH v2 1/4] drm/dp: Add helper to set LTTPRs in transparent mode

[Abel Vesa]

According to the DisplayPort standard, LTTPRs have two operating
modes:
 - non-transparent - it replies to DPCD LTTPR field specific AUX
   requests, while passes through all other AUX requests
 - transparent - it passes through all AUX requests.

Switching between this two modes is done by the DPTX by issuing
an AUX write to the DPCD PHY_REPEATER_MODE register.

Add a generic helper that allows switching between these modes.

Also add a generic wrapper for the helper that handles the explicit
disabling of non-transparent mode and its disable->enable sequence
mentioned in the DP Standard v2.0 section 3.6.6.1. Do this in order
to move this handling out of the vendor specific driver implementation
into the generic framework.

[Abel Vesa]

LTTPRs operating modes are defined by the DisplayPort standard and the
generic framework now provides a helper to switch between them, which
is handling the explicit disabling of non-transparent mode and its
disable->enable sequence mentioned in the DP Standard v2.0 section
3.6.6.1.

So use the new drm generic helper instead as it makes the code a bit
cleaner.

[PATCH v2 4/4] drm/msm/dp: Add support for LTTPR handling

[Abel Vesa]

Link Training Tunable PHY Repeaters (LTTPRs) are defined in DisplayPort
1.4a specification. As the name suggests, these PHY repeaters are
capable of adjusting their output for link training purposes.

According to the DisplayPort standard, LTTPRs have two operating
modes:
 - non-transparent - it replies to DPCD LTTPR field specific AUX
   requests, while passes through all other AUX requests
 - transparent - it passes through all AUX requests.

Switching between this two modes is done by the DPTX by issuing
an AUX write to the DPCD PHY_REPEATER_MODE register.

The msm DP driver is currently lacking any handling of LTTPRs.
This means that if at least one LTTPR is found between DPTX and DPRX,
the link training would fail if that LTTPR was not already configured
in transparent mode.

The section 3.6.6.1 from the DisplayPort v2.0 specification mandates
that before link training with the LTTPR is started, the DPTX may place
the LTTPR in non-transparent mode by first switching to transparent mode
and then to non-transparent mode. This operation seems to be needed only
on first link training and doesn't need to be done again until device is
unplugged.

It has been observed on a few X Elite-based platforms which have
such LTTPRs in their board design that the DPTX needs to follow the
procedure described above in order for the link training to be successful.

So add support for reading the LTTPR DPCD caps to figure out the number
of such LTTPRs first. Then, for platforms (or Type-C dongles) that have
at least one such an LTTPR, set its operation mode to transparent mode
first and then to non-transparent, just like the mentioned section of
the specification mandates.

I was gonna say shouldn't you handle errors here, but that explains the
non-negative check I commented on the first patch in the series.

This looks error prone, but I think you should at least update the
kernel doc comment to drm_dp_lttpr_init() in the first patch so that
it's clear that you pass in the number of LTTPRs *or* an errno.

Indeed. It got me a while to check that drm_dp_dpcd_writeb() ->
drm_dp_mst_dpcd_write() -> drm_dp_send_dpcd_write() ->
drm_dp_mst_wait_tx_reply() never returns '0'. I'd prefer an explicit

if (ret < 0)
	return ret;
return (ret == 1) ? 0 : -EIO;

This means that if lttpr_count < 0, then there will be two requests to
set LTTPRs to a transparent mode. Is that expected?

drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_helper.c is not GPL licenced, so

Yes, exactly. If counting the LTTPRs (see drm_dp_lttpr_count) results in an
invalid number (e.g. more than 8), then according to the DP standard,
we need to roll back to transparent mode.

Do you think I need to re-word the comment above more to make it more
clearer?

So lttpr_count is a bit weird. It's either between 0 and 8, or -ERANGE
if more than 8 LTTPRs are found, or -EINVAL if for some reason the
DP_PHY_REPEATER_CNT register contains an invalid value.
(see drm_dp_lttpr_count())

Now, I think I should just drop the lttr_count local variable here entirely.

Yes, I'll do that. Will mention all possible values and what they mean.
And will probably point to the drm_dp_lttpr_count() as well, just to be
safe.

Maybe I should at least throw an error, just like the i915 does.

Will follow Dmitry's proposal here.

	if (ret < 0)
        	return ret;

	return (ret == 1) ? 0 : -EIO;

Yes, this makes sense. But other than throwing an error I don't think
there is much to be done. I'll add an drm_err here just in case.

So the logic behind lttpr_count and this transparency mode changing, as
specified in the DP standard, is as follows:

- If there are 0 LTTPRs counted, then nothing to be done, otherwise set to
transparent mode.

- Then, if there are between 0 and 8 LTTPRs counted, set non-transparent
mode successfully.

- Otherwise, rollback to transparent mode.

This last rollback might result in two transparent mode settings without
a non-transparent one in between, but AFAIU, that is OK. Making sure this
doesn't happen would just make the implementation more ugly without any
benefit, IMO.

My concern is that you already call
drm_dp_lttpr_set_transparent_mode(true) first. So the DP should be in
the transparent mode. Then if lttpr_count is 0 or less, then you call it
_again_.

Shouldn't it be instead:
drm_dp_lttpr_set_transparent_mode(aux, true);
if (lttpr_count <= 0)
	return 0? // or error?

if (!drm_dp_lttpr_set_transparent_mode(aux, false))
	return 0;

/* roll-back */
drm_dp_lttpr_set_transparent_mode(aux, true);

Arguably this (well, with ret == len) is what we should've done with
*all* of the drm_dp_dpcd_*() functions. I don't think there's a single
case where we'd actually need to know that some but not all data was
transferred. And if there are, they could be special cased. Now we have
hundreds of cases where we check against length and it's just cumbersome
all over the place.

The question is, how confusing is it going to be to have some of the new
functions return 0 instead of len? Very? Extremely?

As painful as it would be, I'd be in favor of changing them all to
return 0 on ret == len. If we find a volunteer.

BR,
Jani.

Maybe a correct Coccinelle script can do a significant part of such a
conversion for us?

Anyway, I think it a right thing to do. Could you possibly add a new set
of API and use it inside i915 driver? Then during the next cycle we can
start using new functions for all other drivers. Or would you rather add
new API through drm-misc? Then we can concert e.g. existing helpers in
the first place and then start working on the drivers.

There are hundreds of drm_dp_dpcd_{read,readb,write,writeb} uses across
drm, and then all the higher level helpers on top. I'm not sure adding a
new API and using it in i915 achieves much.
