[PATCH 0/4] drm/dp,i915: eDP DPCD backlight control detection fixes

[Lyude Paul]

Unfortunately, it turned out that the DPCD is also not a reliable way of
probing for DPCD backlight support as some panels will lie and say they
have DPCD backlight controls when they don't actually.

So, revert back to the old behavior and add a bunch of EDID-based DP
quirks for the panels that we know need this. As you might have already
guessed, OUI quirks didn't seem to be a very safe bet for these panels
due to them not having their device IDs filled out.

[PATCH 1/4] Revert "drm/i915: Don't use VBT for detecting DPCD backlight controls"

[Lyude Paul]

This reverts commit d2a4bb6f8bc8cf2d788adf7e59b5b52fe3a3333c.

So, turns out that this ended up just breaking things. While many
laptops incorrectly advertise themselves as supporting PWM backlight
controls, they actually will only work with DPCD backlight controls.
Unfortunately, it also seems there are a number of systems which
advertise DPCD backlight controls in their eDP DPCD but don't actually
support them. Talking with some laptop manufacturers has shown it might
be possible to probe this support via the EDID (!?!?) but I haven't been
able to confirm that this would work on any other manufacturer's
systems.

So in the mean time, we'll just revert this commit for now and go back
to the old way of doing things. Additionally, let's print out an info
message into the kernel log so that it's a little more obvious if a
system needs DPCD backlight controls enabled through a quirk (which
we'll introduce in the next commit).

The below sentence does not seem to match the patch:

I've pushed the revert to dinq, with the above removed, thanks for the
patch.

I'll try to look into the rest of the patches soon...

[PATCH 2/4] drm/dp: Introduce EDID-based quirks

[Lyude Paul]

The whole point of using OUIs is so that we can recognize certain
devices and potentially apply quirks for them. Normally this should work
quite well, but there appears to be quite a number of laptop panels out
there that will fill the OUI but not the device ID. As such, for devices
like this I can't imagine it's a very good idea to try relying on OUIs
for applying quirks. As well, some laptop vendors have confirmed to us
that their panels have this exact issue.

So, let's introduce the ability to apply DP quirks based on EDID
identification. We reuse the same quirk bits for OUI-based quirks, so
that callers can simply check all possible quirks using
drm_dp_has_quirk().

[PATCH 3/4] drm/i915: Force DPCD backlight mode on X1 Extreme 2nd Gen 4K AMOLED panel

[Lyude Paul]

The X1 Extreme is one of the systems that lies about which backlight
interface that it uses in its VBIOS as PWM backlight controls don't work
at all on this machine. It's possible that this panel could be one of
the infamous ones that can switch between PWM mode and DPCD backlight
control mode, but we haven't gotten any more details on this from Lenovo
just yet. For the time being though, making sure the backlight 'just
works' is a bit more important.

So, add a quirk to force DPCD backlight controls on for these systems
based on EDID (since this panel doesn't appear to fill in the device ID).
Hopefully in the future we'll figure out a better way of probing this.

[PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: Force DPCD backlight mode for some Precision 7750 panels

[Lyude Paul]

According to Dell, trying to match their panels via OUI is not reliable
enough and we've been told that we should check against the EDID
instead. As well, Dell seems to have some panels that are actually
intended to switch between using PWM for backlight controls and DPCD for
backlight controls depending on whether or not the panel is in HDR or
SDR mode. Yikes.

Regardless, we need to add quirks for these so that DPCD backlight
controls get enabled by default, since without additional driver support
that's the only form of brightness control that will work. Hopefully in
the future we can remove these quirks once we have a better way of
probing for this.
