[PATCH] soc: qcom: pmic_glink_altmode: Fix SVID=DP && unconnected edge case
Posted by Konrad Dybcio 1 month ago
From: Konrad Dybcio <konrad.dybcio@oss.qualcomm.com>

The commit referenced in Fixes started evaluating the value of
alt_port->mux_ctrl before checking the active SVID. This led to
drm_aux_hpd_bridge_notify() no longer being called for the 'DP unplug'
case.

Perhaps somewhat interestingly, the firmware sends a notification with
SVID=DP, mux_ctrl=MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN and pin_assignment=0 on
unplug. 'pin_assignment' was previously interpreted as a bitfield
excerpt from the second byte of the DP pg_altmode payload (and stored
as an u8).

That value is used in pmic_glink_altmode_sc8280xp_notify(), decremented
by 1 (DPAM_HPD_A). Previously, this would result in an u8 underflow
that would rollover to 0xff (which prior to the Fixes patch would have
caused a pmic_glink_altmode_safe() and 'disconnected' bridge
notification). That check was removed, without a replacement.

Resolve this issue by making sure the SID=DP && mux_ctrl=NO_CONN combo
once again results in a HPD bridge notification.

This looks fishy, because you had:

if (alt_port->mux_ctrl == MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN)
	pmic_glink_altmode_safe()
else (blah)
	...
else (alt_port->svid == USB_TYPEC_DP_SID)
	pmic_glink_altmode_enable_dp
else (blah)
	...
else (blah)
	...

So what's the difference with :


if (blah)
	...
else (alt_port->svid == USB_TYPEC_DP_SID) {
	if (alt_port->mux_ctrl == MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN)
		pmic_glink_altmode_safe()
	else
		pmic_glink_altmode_enable_dp
}
else (blah)
	...
else (blah)
	...
else (alt_port->mux_ctrl == MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN)
	pmic_glink_altmode_safe()


Before, if mux_ctrl was MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN, it would set to safe mode whatever the svid,
now it's either in the DP case or at the end.

I don't see the difference here, except if your desire is to ignore
the MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN for USB_TYPEC_TBT_SID and MUX_CTRL_STATE_TUNNELING.

But it doesn't match the commit message at all.

The difference is the call to drm_aux_hpd_bridge_notify() in the DP
case, which isn't very visible in the patch diff.

Oh I see it now thx, but with this change MUX_CTRL_STATE_NO_CONN will be ignored for USB_TYPEC_TBT_SID and MUX_CTRL_STATE_TUNNELING.

Both are very much intended

For TBT SVID, it can only show up if STATE_TUNNELING

In the other case, STATE_TUNNELING and STATE_NO_CONN appear in the same
field, so only one of them can be present at once


Actually that's why I made the mistake of ignoring the DP case in the first
place - I assumed NO_CONN must not be valid with any active (alt)mode, but
the DP path was wired up in this.. interesting.. way
