Provide separate implementations of .get_modes() and .detect_ctx() from struct drm_connector. Switch to struct drm_edid. Udl's .detect() helper used to fetch the EDID from the adapter and the .get_modes() helper provided display modes from the data. But this relied on the DRM helpers to call the functions in the correct order. When no EDID could be retrieved, .detect() regularly printed a warning to the kernel log. Switching to the new helpers around struct drm_edid separates both from each other. The .get_modes() helper now fetches the EDID by itself and the .detect_ctx() helper only tests for its presence. The patch does a number of things to implement this. - Move udl_get_edid_block() to udl_edid.c and rename it to udl_read_edid_block(). Then use the helper to implement probing in udl_probe_edid() and reading in udl_edid_read(). The latter helper is build on top of DRM helpers. - Replace the existing code in .get_modes() and .detect() with udl's new EDID helpers. The new code behaves like DRM's similar DDC-based helpers. Instead of .detect(), udl now implements .detect_ctx(). - Remove the edid data from struct udl_connector. The field cached the EDID data between calls to .detect() and .get_modes(), but is now unused. v3: - implement udl_probe_edid() with memchr_inv() (Jani) v2: - implement udl_probe_edid() within udl - reword commit description Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240510154841.11370-5-tzimmermann@suse.de
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 reStructuredText 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.
