The system cannot switch mirror\nmode on X11 when using a Type-C to HDMI external monitor.\nThe root cause is that on XELPDP+ platforms (Lunar Lake and later), the LTTPR dongle\nfires a long HPD pulse after link training. The tc_phy_hpd_live_status() function reads\nPICAINTERRUPT_ISR to determine DP-alt live status, but the XELPDP_DP_ALT_HOTPLUG_MASK\nbit deasserts during a long HPD pulse. Since intel_tc_port_handles_hpd_glitches() returns\ntrue for TC dp-alt ports, the 4ms glitch-filter retry loop is bypassed, giving no\nprotection against this transient deassertion. The hotplug handler then marks DP-1 as\ndisconnected, and the compositor disables eDP-1.\nError log:\n xe 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_dp_hpd_pulse [xe]] got hpd irq on [ENCODER:270:DDI TC1/PHY TC1] - long\n xe 0000:00:02.0: [drm:drm_dp_dpcd_access [drm_display_helper]] AUX USBC1/DDI TC1/PHY TC1: Too many retries, giving up.

The ownership register is stable and does not toggle\nduring HPD pulses. The TC cold power domain is guaranteed to be held when\nlink_refcount > 0, as __intel_tc_port_lock() already asserts and verifies this via\ntc_phy_is_owned() before reaching intel_tc_port_connected().\nThe patch is currently under review on the Intel DRM mailing list (not yet merged to\nmainline).\nPatch:\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260305075857.40077-1-acelan.kao@canonical.com/T/#u\n\n[Test Plan]\n1. Connect HP Type-C to HDMI dongle (03f0:8a4a) to the system.\n2. Ensure the external monitor is displaying output (extended mode).\n3. Press the hotkey to switch to mirror mode.\nWithout the patch: The external monitor fails to switch to mirror mode. The kernel log\nshows DP-1 connector status updated from connected to disconnected, and the internal\ndisplay may also blank.\nWith the patch: Mirror mode switches successfully. The kernel log shows the TC port\ncorrectly stays in or returns to dp-alt mode:\n [drm:intel_tc_port_update_mode] Port D/TC#1: TC port mode reset (dp-alt -> disconnected)\n [drm:intel_tc_port_update_mode] Port D/TC#1: TC port mode reset (disconnected -> dp-alt)\n\n[Where problems could occur]\nIt may affect the i915/xe display driver's Type-C port management on Lunar Lake and\nlater platforms.\nIf the condition `tc_phy_is_owned()` returns a stale or incorrect ownership state while\nlink_refcount > 0, the driver could incorrectly report a port as connected when the\nphysical link has actually been removed. This would manifest as a phantom connected\ndisplay that cannot be detected as disconnected until the next full port reset, potentially\ncausing display configuration errors or a hung compositor.\nAdditionally, the early-return path bypasses the existing tc_phy_hpd_live_status() mask\ncheck. If there is an edge case where link_refcount > 0 but the port mode transitions\naway from TC_PORT_DP_ALT between the refcount check and the ownership check, the port\nstatus could be misreported.\nThe patch is submitted upstream for review but not yet merged.\n\n[Other Info]\nThe patch is submitted to the Intel DRM mailing list for review but not yet merged to\nmainline.\nThis issue only reproduces with the HP Type-C to HDMI dongle (03f0:8a4a) on X11. Wayland\nand other dongle types (Type-C to DP/VGA, built-in HDMI/Thunderbolt) are not affected.\n\nChia-Lin Kao (AceLan) (1):\n UBUNTU: SAUCE: drm/i915/lnl+/tc: Fix false disconnect of active DP-alt\n TC port during long HPD pulse\n\n drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_tc.c | 5 +++++\n 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)" }
