[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Preserve eDP mode on initial ASSR failure
From: Arthur Heymans
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 11:15:29 EST
Commit 56d8ce9d8c17 ("drm/amd/display: Apply correct panel mode when
reinitializing hardware") made ASSR failure fall back to the default panel
mode unless eDP mode had previously been applied.
However, dc_link is zero-initialized and DP_PANEL_MODE_DEFAULT is zero.
Before the first call to dp_set_panel_mode(), panel_mode therefore looks
like a previously applied default mode. If ASSR setup fails during the
first link training attempt, the driver incorrectly trains the eDP link
using the default scrambling mode.
On a Google Vilboz Chromebook running self-built coreboot firmware and
PSP verstage, this leaves the panel mostly black with corrupted output
along the top edge.
Track whether panel_mode has actually been initialized, and only consult
the saved mode after it has been applied. This retains the recovery
behavior while preserving eDP mode during initial link training.
