[PATCH v7 00/30] Add HDMI 2.0 support to DW HDMI QP TX
From: Cristian Ciocaltea
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 18:46:09 EST
Enable HDMI 2.0 display modes (e.g. 4K@60Hz) on the Synopsys DW HDMI QP
TX controller, as found in Rockchip RK3576 & RK3588 SoCs, by adding SCDC
management for high TMDS clock ratio and scrambling.
Since SCDC state is lost on sink disconnects, the bridge driver needs to
trigger a CRTC reset during connector detection. To support this, the
series introduces the connector and bridge scrambling infrastructure
(patches 1-8), wires it up through the bridge connector layer with an
atomic-aware detect_ctx hook (patches 9-11), then implements the SCDC
scrambling feature in the DW HDMI QP bridge driver (patches 12-15).
Patches 16-18 are minor cleanups in the Rockchip platform driver.
Patches 19-23 improve HPD handling by deferring IRQ registration until
the connector is fully initialized, adding .enable_hpd()/.disable_hpd()
PHY ops, and restricting HPD events to the affected connector.
Patches 24-25 convert vc4 HDMI to the common SCDC scrambling helpers as
a proof of reuse, replacing the driver-local scrambling implementation.
Patches 26-30 add KUnit tests: connector scrambler validation, a new
4K@60Hz 600MHz EDID, hdmi_state_helper scrambling tests, and EDID
conformity fixes for some of the existing test blobs.
This has been tested on the following boards:
* Radxa ROCK 5B (RK3588)
* Radxa ROCK 4D (RK3576)
* Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1 (BCM2712 D0)
Regards,
Cristian

Changes in v7:
- Split the scrambler_needed flag computation from the SCDC scrambling
helpers into a standalone hdmi_state_helper patch for clarity (new
patch 6)
- Added vc4 HDMI conversion to common TMDS char rate constants and SCDC
scrambling helpers as a proof of reuse (new patches 24-25)
- Added KUnit tests for connector scrambler_supported/callback
consistency validation (new patch 26)
- Added 4K@60Hz 600MHz TMDS test EDID for high-rate scrambling coverage
(new patch 27)
- Added KUnit tests for hdmi_state_helper scrambler_needed flag:
low-rate, high-rate, and source-no-support cases (new patch 28)
- Fixed EDID conformity issues (edid-decode v1.33.0 failures) in the
existing 1080p+4K YUV420 200MHz and 4K RGB/YUV 340MHz test EDIDs
without changing the capabilities used by existing tests (new patches
29-30)
- Rebased onto latest drm-misc-next
- Link to v6: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v6-0-24b74603b782@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v6:
- Collected R-b & A-b tags from Dmitry and Heiko
- Restructured the series from 10 into 22 patches, splitting the SCDC
scrambling helpers, connector infrastructure, bridge operations,
bridge_connector plumbing, dw-hdmi-qp implementation, and Rockchip
platform changes into distinct commits
- Added drm_scdc_dbg() macro to simplify debug messages (new patch)
- Added drm_scdc_start/stop/sync_status() helpers for full scrambling
lifecycle management (reworked from v5 patch 5)
- Added drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_hotplug_ctx() to propagate
modeset acquire context for SCDC sync on hotplug (new patch)
- Added connector scrambler callbacks and SCDC work/flag infrastructure
as a separate patch (split from v5 patch 5)
- Added DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HDMI_SCRAMBLER bridge operation with
hdmi_scrambler_enable/disable callbacks (new patch)
- Implemented bridge_connector scrambler interface wiring (new patch)
- Added .enable_hpd()/.disable_hpd() PHY ops for dw-hdmi-qp bridge and
Rockchip platform drivers, replacing the obsolete .setup_hpd() op
- Added dw_hdmi_qp_hpd_notify() helper for targeted connector-only HPD
notification (split from v5 patch 10)
- Dropped drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() unused variable (new cleanup)
- Dropped unused drm_simple_kms_helper.h include (new cleanup)
- Masked RK3576 HPD IRQ in io_init() for consistency with RK3588
- Rebased onto latest drm-misc-next
- Link to v5: https://patch.msgid.link/20260426-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v5-0-d778e70c317b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v5:
- Added new patches: 1/10, 3/10, 6/10, 7/10, 8/10
- Removed redundant no-op error check in drm_bridge_helper_reset_crtc()
(patch 1)
- Removed the EDEADLK retry loop from the bridge .detect_ctx() callback,
as that's already handled in the drm_bridge_detect_ctx() helper or by
the caller when ctx is provided (patch 2)
- Refactored drm_bridge_detect() to delegate to drm_bridge_detect_ctx()
and added a WARN_ON for unexpected negative return values (patch 2)
- Split the bridge-connector .detect_ctx() switch into a preparatory
patch to use cached connector status in .get_modes() (patch 3)
- Improved error handling in SCDC scrambling setup: roll back high TMDS
clock ratio on scrambling failure, reset scramb_enabled flag on
set_scramb failure, and add SCDC version read/write error checks
(patch 5)
- Annotated scramb_enabled with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for cross-context
access between modeset paths and the scrambling work item (patch 5)
- Renamed SCDC_MIN_SOURCE_VERSION to SCDC_MAX_SOURCE_VERSION (patch 5)
- Rate limited i2c error messages (patch 6)
- Added missing newlines in dev_err_probe() messages (patch 7)
- Replaced indirect device pointer accesses with local dev variable in
bind() (patch 8)
- Split the HPD connector restriction (formerly patch 4/4): register HPD
IRQ after connector setup first (patch 9), then restrict HPD event to
the affected connector (patch 10); also collected R-b from Heiko
- Rebased onto latest drm-misc-next
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260303-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v4-0-317d3b8bd219@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v4:
- Fixed conflicts while rebasing onto latest drm-misc-next
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260119-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v3-0-bd8611730fc1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v3:
- Used drm_bridge_helper_reset_crtc() helper to reset the display
pipeline and got rid of some boilerplate code (Maxime)
- Rebased onto latest drm-misc-next
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260113-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v2-0-ae7b2c58d24d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Collected Tested-by tags from Diederik and Maud
- Rebased onto latest drm-misc-next
- Ensured the recently introduced 'no-hpd' support for dealing with
unconnected/repurposed/broken HPD pin is limited to HDMI 1.4 rates
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251203-dw-hdmi-qp-scramb-v1-0-836fe7401a69@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
