The drm displayport-helpers indeed expect a 6 bytes buffer, but they
usually only consume 4 bytes.

I don't think that changing the DP_DPRX_ESI_LEN is a good fix here,
since it is used in multiple places, but the esi array already gets
zero-ed out by its initializer, so we can just pass 2 extra 0 bytes
to give drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() call the 6 byte buffer its prototype
specifies by doing this:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c
index 897711d9d7d3..147962d4ad06 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c
@@ -4538,7 +4538,11 @@ intel_dp_check_mst_status(struct intel_dp *intel_dp)
 	drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(&i915->drm, intel_dp->active_mst_links < 0);
 
 	for (;;) {
-		u8 esi[DP_DPRX_ESI_LEN] = {};
+		/*
+		 * drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() expects a 6 byte large buffer, but
+		 * the ESI info only contains 4 bytes, pass 2 extra 0 bytes.
+		 */
+		u8 esi[DP_DPRX_ESI_LEN + 2] = {};
 		bool handled;
 		int retry;
 

So i915 devs, would such a fix be acceptable ?

Regards,

Hans
