[PATCH 3/3] drm/amd/display: report synced Apple 5K tiles to PowerPlay for MCLK switch

From: Richard Lane

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 18:50:08 EST


When driving both 2560x2880 tiles of an Apple 5K iMac panel, Display
Core's program_timing_sync() already aligns both CRTCs in hardware
during dc_commit_streams() because the two streams share identical
timings.

However, on DCE < 12 (iMac15,1 through Polaris-based iMac19,1), Display
Core leaves pp_display_cfg.all_displays_in_sync unset. Because PowerPlay
is not informed that the two streams have synchronized vertical blanking
intervals, SMU7 prevents MCLK switching at idle or causes modeset
underflows.

Report all_displays_in_sync = true to PowerPlay after committing both
tiled streams so SMU7 knows the tiles blank simultaneously and can
safely downclock MCLK at idle.
