Hi,

mgag200 broken on kernel-6.0-rc3 on DELL/T620.

See the attachementment file for the graph output.

Thanks for reporting the bug. We recently refactored some code of the driver. Can you bisect to the change that introduced the problem?

5.19.3 works well on this DELL/T620.

so this problem should be a regression of 6.0.

other bisect seem difficult for me.

I looked for changes between 5.19 and 6.0-rc3 that could affect G200ER specifically, but could not find anything. It would help if I'd know the first broken commit. Is there any chance that you get the git bisecting to work?

The commands should be

    git bisect reset
    git bisect start v6.0-rc3 v5.19

A dirty patch(below) works well.  but we need a final fix.

# git diff

         dev->mode_config.funcs = &mgag200_mode_config_funcs;

I firstly tried to build whole kernel base on
c577b2f43e80 drm/mgag200: Enable atomic gamma lut update
d45e32c9d98c drm/mgag200: Call mgag200_device_probe_vram() from
per-model init

both failed to boot, so failed to test mgag200 driver.

so I tried to revert patch of mgag200 driver in batch of 2 or 3, the I
noticed the patch 'Subject: drm/mgag200: Remove special case for G200SE
with <2 MiB' and then tried this dirty fix.

Oh, great work! Thank you. From looking at the screenshot that you provided, it seems as if the 24-bit mode setting is broken. I'm not sure why the G200SE workaround applies to a G200ER, but we'll see.

more info:
1, This DELL/T620 works well with kernel 5.15.63,
       so this is not a  hardware error.

2, DELL/T640 works well with kernel 6.0-rc and 5.15.63.
       both DELL/T620 and DELL/T640 use the driver 'mgag200'.
