From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> This patch series adds support for the DisplayPort CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX feature. This patch series is based on the current media master branch (https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/log/) but it applies fine on top of the current mainline tree. This patch series has been tested with my NUC7i5BNK, a Google USB-C to HDMI adapter and a Club 3D DisplayPort MST Hub + modified UpTab DP-to-HDMI adapter (where the CEC pin is wired up). The latter is to check that replacing a USB-C to HDMI adapter by a USB-C MST Hub works correctly. CEC for MST is currently not supported. Please note this comment at the start of drm_dp_cec.c: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately it turns out that we have a chicken-and-egg situation here. Quite a few active (mini-)DP-to-HDMI or USB-C-to-HDMI adapters have a converter chip that supports CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX (usually the Parade PS176), but they do not wire up the CEC pin, thus making CEC useless. Sadly there is no way for this driver to know this. What happens is that a /dev/cecX device is created that is isolated and unable to see any of the other CEC devices. Quite literally the CEC wire is cut (or in this case, never connected in the first place). The reason so few adapters support this is that this tunneling protocol was never supported by any OS. So there was no easy way of testing it, and no incentive to correctly wire up the CEC pin. Hopefully by creating this driver it will be easier for vendors to finally fix their adapters and test the CEC functionality. I keep a list of known working adapters here: https://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/cec-status.txt Please mail me (hverkuil@xxxxxxxxx) if you find an adapter that works and is not yet listed there. Note that the current implementation does not support CEC over an MST hub. As far as I can see there is no mechanism defined in the DisplayPort standard to transport CEC interrupts over an MST device. It might be possible to do this through polling, but I have not been able to get that to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I really hope that this work will provide an incentive for vendors to finally connect the CEC pin. It's a shame that there are so few adapters that work (I found only three USB-C to HDMI adapters that work, and no (mini-)DP to HDMI adapters at all). It is a very nice feature for HTPC boxes. Apologies for the long delay between v5 and this v6: too many other projects needed my attention. The main change since v5 is that the CEC adapter is now unregistered after a user-defined time (by default 1 second) if the EDID is unset. If the EDID comes back within that time, then the existing CEC adapter is used as this is assumed to be a HPD off-and-on toggle from the display. The delay can also be set to 0 through a module option. In that case the CEC adapter will never be unregistered as long as the connector remains registered (or if a new HDMI adapter was connected with different capabilities from the previous adapter). Note that I removed the Tested-by tag from Carlos Santa due to the substantial rework of the code. Carlos, can you test this again? Regards, Hans Changes since v5: - Moved the logic of when to unregister a CEC adapter to the drm core code, since this is independent of the actual driver implementation. - Simplified the calls the driver needs to make: the core code is informed when a connector is (un)registered, when the EDID is unset or set and when a DP short pulse is seen and you need to check if that is for a CEC interrupt. - Added the drm_dp_cec_unregister_delay module option to set the delay between unsetting the EDID and unregistering the CEC adapter. Changes since v4: - Updated comment at the start of drm_dp_cec.c - Add edid pointer to drm_dp_cec_configure_adapter - Reworked the last patch (adding CEC to i915) based on Ville's comments and my MST testing: - register/unregister CEC in intel_dp_connector_register/unregister - add comment and check if connector is registered in long_pulse - unregister CEC if an MST 'connector' is detected.
