The GPU contains an i2c subdevice for each connector with DDC lines.
I believe those are modelled as children of the GPU's PCI device as
they're accessed via mmio of the PCI device.
The problem here is that when the GPU's PCI device runtime suspends,
its i2c child device needs to be runtime active to suspend the MST
topology. Catch-22.
I don't know whether or not it's necessary to suspend the MST topology.
I'm not an expert on DisplayPort MultiStream transport.
BTW Lyude, in patch 4 and 5 of this series, you're runtime resuming
pad->i2c->subdev.device->dev. Is this the PCI device or is it the i2c
device? I'm always confused by nouveau's structs. In nvkm_i2c_bus_ctor()
I can see that the device you're runtime resuming is the parent of the
i2c_adapter:
struct nvkm_device *device = pad->i2c->subdev.device;
[...]
bus->i2c.dev.parent = device->dev;
If the i2c_adapter is a child of the PCI device, it's sufficient
to runtime resume the i2c_adapter, i.e. bus->i2c.dev, and this will
implicitly runtime resume its parent.
Thanks,
Lukas
