[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18] drm/amd/display: Fix 8K Mode Not Parsed by EDID

From: Sasha Levin

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 11:07:16 EST


From: Fangzhi Zuo <Jerry.Zuo@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9b3aa1dec7c364b0d7b171dcc00ab1092e362aef ]

[why]
The 8K120/8K240 timings live in DisplayID extension blocks 2 and 3
of this EDID. The EDID is a 4-block (512-byte) HDMI 2.1 EDID
that uses HF-EEODB.
drm core reads and parses this correctly, but amdgpu rebuilds its own copy.
Only 2 of 4 blocks were copied into sink->dc_edid, that leads to
drm_edid_connector_add_modes() never sees blocks 2 and 3.

[how]
Directly populate edid_blob_ptr with a blob whose length is the full,
and HF-EEODB-aware size.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The branch check finished: commit `11a90eaf5c808` (“Fix 8K Mode Not
Parsed by EDID”) is on `linux-next/master` only, not in the local
`v6.18.44` tree. That matches the earlier finding — the fix is in
mainline development and still needs to be backported to 6.18.y if
selected.

The backport recommendation remains **YES** for this tree.
