[PATCH 5.14 069/172] drm/amd/display: Fix Display Flicker on embedded panels

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 04 2021 - 09:32:55 EST


From: Praful Swarnakar <Praful.Swarnakar@xxxxxxx>

commit 083fa05bbaf65a01866b5440031c822e32ad7510 upstream.

[Why]
ASSR is dependent on Signed PSP Verstage to enable Content
Protection for eDP panels. Unsigned PSP verstage is used
during development phase causing ASSR to FAIL.
As a result, link training is performed with
DP_PANEL_MODE_DEFAULT instead of DP_PANEL_MODE_EDP for
eDP panels that causes display flicker on some panels.

[How]
- Do not change panel mode, if ASSR is disabled
- Just report and continue to perform eDP link training
with right settings further.
