We need to untangle the mess where some SKL machines (at least) declare both DDI A and DDI E to be present in their VBT, and both using AUX A. DDI A is a ghost eDP, wheres DDI E may be a real DP->VGA converter. Currently that is handled by checking the VBT child devices for conflicts before output probing. But that kind of solution will not work for the ADL phantom dual eDP VBTs. I think on those we just have to probe the eDP first. And would be nice to use the same probe scheme for everything. On these SKL systems if we probe DDI A first (which is only natural given it's declared by VBT first) we will get an answer via AUX, but it came from the DP->VGA converter hooked to the DDI E, not DDI A. Thus we mistakenly register eDP on DDI A and screw up the real DP device in DDI E. To fix this let's check the HPD live state during the eDP probe. If we got an answer via DPCD but HPD is still down let's assume we got the answer from someone else. Smoke tested on all my eDP machines (ilk,hsw-ult,tgl,adl) and I also tested turning off all HPD hardware prior to loading i915 to make sure it all comes up properly. And I simulated the failure path too by not turning on HPD sense and that correctly gave up on eDP. I *think* Windows might just fully depend on HPD here. I couldn't really find any other way they probe displays. And I did find code where they also check the live state prior to AUX transfers (something Imre and I have also talked about perhaps doing). That would also solve this as we'd not succeed in the eDP probe DPCD reads. Other solutions I've considered: - Reintrduce DDI strap checks on SKL. Unfortunately we just don't have any idea how reliable they are on real production hardware, and commit |

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.
