Stop with the VBT DDC pin sanitation, and instead just check that the appropriate DDC pin is still available when initializing a HDMI connector. The reason being that we want to start initializing ports in VBT order to deal with VBTs that declare child devices with seemingly conflicting ports. As the encoder initialization can fail for other reasons (at least for eDP+AUX) we can't know upfront which way the conflicts should be resolved. Note that the old way of sanitizing gave priority to the last port declared in the VBT, but now we sort of do the opposite by favoring the first encoder to successfully initialize. So far we're not aware of HDMI/DDC use cases where this would matter but for AUX CH (will be subject to a similar change) there are known cases where it matters. Also note that the old code fell back to the platform default DDC pin if the VBT pin was populated but invalid. That doesn't seem like such a great idea because the VBT might have later declared another port using that platform default pin, and so we might just be creating more DDC pin conflicts here. So lets not second guess the VBT and simply reject the entire HDMI encoder if the VBT DDC pin is invalid. v2: Pimp the commit message (Jani) Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230630155846.29931-4-ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
