The BIOS cut-off date is meant to avoid issues when suspending ports on older chipsets. However if the port is used for an Optimus GPU and we can clearly identify that, and there's a _PR3 method provided, it's probably safe to say that the port is *intended* to be suspended. So you may want to consider amending pci_bridge_d3_possible() to allow D3 for such ports regardless of the BIOS date, as I've done for Thunderbolt in this commit: https://github.com/l1k/linux/commit/3cb8549cd4e5 Not sure how to uniquely identify such ports though. Perhaps check if there's a device in slot 0 below the port which has (pdev->class >> 16) == PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY && (pdev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_NVIDIA || pdev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI) Best regards, Lukas _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
