[PATCH v4 00/27] drm: Fix EDID reading on ti-sn65dsi86; solve some chicken-and-egg problems

[Douglas Anderson]

The primary goal of this series is to try to properly fix EDID reading
for eDP panels using the ti-sn65dsi86 bridge.

Previously we had a patch that added EDID reading but it turned out
not to work at bootup. This caused some extra churn at bootup as we
tried (and failed) to read the EDID several times and also ended up
forcing us to use the hardcoded mode at boot. With this patch series I
believe EDID reading is reliable at boot now and we never use the
hardcoded mode.

This series is the logical successor to the 3-part series containing
the patch ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Properly get the EDID, but only
if refclk") [1] though only one actual patch is the same between the
two.

This series starts out with some general / obvious fixes and moves on
to some more specific and maybe controversial ones. I wouldn't object
to some of the earlier ones landing if they look ready.

This patch was developed agains linuxnext (next-20210416) on a
sc7180-trogdor-lazor device. To get things booting for me, I had to
use Stephen's patch [2] to keep from crashing but otherwise all the
patches I needed were here.

Primary change between v2 and v3 is to stop doing the EDID caching in
the core. I also added Andrzej's review tags.

Between v3 and v4 this series grew a whole lot. I changed it so that
the EDID reading is actually driven by the panel driver now as was
suggested by Andrzej. While I still believe that the old approach
wasn't too bad I'm still switching. Why?

The main reason is that I think it's useful in general for the panel
code to have access to the DDC bus and to be able to read the
EDID. This may allow us to more easily have the panel code support
multiple sources of panels--it can read the EDID and possibly adjust
timings based on the model ID. It also allows the panel code (or
perhaps backlight code?) to send DDC commands if they are need for a
particular panel.

At the moment, once the panel is provided the DDC bus then existing
code will assume that it should be in charge of reading the
EDID. While it doesn't have to work that way, it seems sane to build
on what's already there.

In order to expose the DDC bus to the panel, I had to solve a bunch of
chicken-and-egg problems in terms of probe ordering between the bridge
and the panel. I've broken the bridge driver into several sub drivers
to make this happen. At the moment the sub-drivers are just there to
solve the probe problem, but conceivably someone could use them to
break the driver up in the future if need be.

I apologize in advance for the length of this series. I'm currently
working through getting commit access to drm-misc [3] so I can land
the first several patches which are already reviewed. There are still
a lot of patches even after the first few, but hopefully you can see
that there are only so many because they're broken up into nice and
reviewable bite-sized-chunks. :-)
