This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled drm/i915/lvds: ditch ->prepare special case to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From e2fd97a9397a2cbe86040e0c581cec96d9433543 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 16:27:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/lvds: ditch ->prepare special case commit 520c41cf2fa029d1e8b923ac2026f96664f17c4b upstream. LVDS is the first output where dpms on/off and prepare/commit don't perfectly match. Now the idea behind this special case seems to be that for simple resolution changes on the LVDS we don't need to stop the pipe, because (at least on newer chips) we can adjust the panel fitter on the fly. There are a few problems with the current code though: - We still stop and restart the pipe unconditionally, because the crtc helper code isn't flexible enough. - We show some ugly flickering, especially when changing crtcs (this the crtc helper would actually take into account, but we don't implement the encoder->get_crtc callback required to make this work properly). So it doesn't even work as advertised. I agree that it would be nice to do resolution changes on LVDS (and also eDP) whithout blacking the screen where the panel fitter allows to do that. But imo we should implement this as a special case a few layers up in the mode set code, akin to how we already detect simple framebuffer changes (and only update the required registers with ->mode_set_base). Until this is all in place, make our lives easier and just rip it out. Also note that this seems to fix actual bugs with enabling the lvds output, see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-July/018614.html Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Giacomo Comes <comes@naic.edu> Acked-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Tested-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-Off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Haitao Zhang <haitao.zhang@canonical.com> Cc: Anthony Wong <anthony.wong@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lvds.c | 8 +------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2
