IMPORTANT NOTE: *** This is just an experimental patch! *** I fell over some "pipe A assertion" warnings while playing with drm-intel-nightly and contacted Daniel Vetter via PM. [ dmesg ] [ 19.948476] WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1228 assert_pipe+0xde/0xe0 [i915]() [ 19.948476] Hardware name: 530U3BI/530U4BI/530U4BH [ 19.948477] pipe A assertion failure (expected on, current off) Waiting for a reply, I looked into the code myself and found this snippet and reflected about adding a quirk_pipea_force for my Intel SandyBridge GPU: static struct intel_quirk intel_quirks[] = { /* HP Mini needs pipe A force quirk (LP: #322104) */ { 0x27ae, 0x103c, 0x361a, quirk_pipea_force }, ... } Unfortunately, it was not clear to me what each value of the triple means. I started to investigate more in the logs: [ Xorg.0.log ] [ 16.421] (--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0116:144d:c0c7 rev 9, Mem @0xf0000000/4194304, 0xe0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00003000/64 This line gave me a 1st impression how my triple for a quirk line could look like! Finally, Jani Nikula gave me some helpful explanations in [1]: >I guess you figured it out, but just a few lines up there's [1]: struct intel_quirk { int device; int subsystem_vendor; int subsystem_device; void (*hook)(struct drm_device *dev); }; >where device, subsystem_vendor, and subsystem_device map to Device, >SVendor, and SDevice of the gfx controller in 'lspci -vmnn' output. With these informations, I checked immediately here with 'lspci -vmnn' [2]: Device: 00:02.0 Class: VGA compatible controller [0300] Vendor: Intel Corporation [8086] Device: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [0116] SVendor: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd [144d] SDevice: Device [c0c7] Rev: 09 [ Triple revealed (w/o brackets) ] Device (here: [0116]), SVendor (here: [144d]) and SDevice (here: [c0c7]) As a conclusion, I added the below QUIRK and it was successful: [ dmesg ] [ 15.047921] [drm] applying pipe a force quirk Daniel removed the "buggy" patch which introduced the warning for non-HSW GPUs. v3 in commit 693101618a4b [3] should be the revised patch.
