[PATCH 1/5] drm/msm/dpu: don't flush a legacy CTL after its interface has stopped
From: Dmitry Baryshkov
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 20:03:38 EST
On DPU < 5.0 the CTL latches a flush at the next vsync of the interface
it drives. dpu_encoder_helper_phys_cleanup() runs after the video
encoder has switched the timing engine off, and still flushes the mixers
it has just reset, so the flush is never taken: the bits stay pending in
CTL_FLUSH, where a CTL soft reset doesn't clear them either.
The next display on that CTL then waits for a flush which can't
complete. On SDA660, going back to fbcon from a two-mixer mode leaves
the LM_1 bit pending, and every following frame of the single-mixer
mode times out:
[dpu error]vblank timeout: 80
[dpu error]wait for commit done returned -110
Only trigger the flush from the teardown on DPU >= 5.0. The legacy CTL
gets its registers flushed by its next user, as downstream does, which
rewrites CTL_TOP without a flush when it stops a CTL.
Fixes: 22cb02bc96ff ("drm/msm/disp/dpu: reset the datapath after timing engine disable")
