Does anyone has the idea to protect detect and get_modes context?

I'm not sure a reference count is going to help here. The common
pattern is to call detect() followed by get_modes() and then modeset.
However, it's not guaranteed that any one of those functions will be
called after the other. So, if you leave things on after detect or
get_modes, you might be wasting power (or worse).

I recently ran into this exact problem with a panel we're using. Check
out "0b8b059a7: drm/bridge: analogix_dp: Ensure the panel is properly
prepared/unprepared". Perhaps you can piggyback on that function to
add your pm_runtime and plat_data callbacks (since using dpms_mode
might be racey).

Hi Sean

Thanks for your advice.

I re-test the detect and get_modes, only use pm_runtime_get/put also can fix my problem.
without plat_data callbacks can avoid race to dpms_mode.

I had send v2 patch, you can review it.

Thanks.


I found many other connector driver also direct access register on detect or
get_modes, no problem for it?

The drm callback ->detect and ->get_modes seems is not power safe,
they may be called when device is power off, do register access on
detect or get_modes will cause system die.

Here is the path call ->detect before analogix_dp power on
