Re: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: add panel_power_savings sysfs entry to eDP connectors

[Dominik Förderer <administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've applied the patch to 6.7.2. The device then shows up under:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:c1:00.0/drm/card1/card1-eDP-1/amdgpu/panel_power_savings
(on Framework Laptop 13 amd 7840U with 780M).

After a few tests i can say that at least in my system it’s not working. 
Setting a value between 0 and 4 in /sys/.../panel_power_savings changes 
nothing in the panel behavior. There are no errors in kernel log.

Setting an abmlevel via kernel option still works as intended.


The issue can be resolved if one set the panel_power_savings value and 
after that change the display resolution to a lower value and than 
switch back. For example this script works:


xterm -e 'echo 0 | sudo tee 
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:c1:00.0/drm/card1/card1-eDP-1/amdgpu/panel_power_savings'
gnome-randr modify -m 1920x1200@59.999 eDP-1 && gnome-randr modify -m 
2256x1504@59.999 eDP-1
