Some AST-based BMCs stop display output for up to 5 seconds after reprogramming the scanout address. As the address is fixed, avoid re-setting the address' value. v2: * only update offset if it changed (Jocelyn) Reported-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_mode.c | 17 +++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_mode.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_mode.c index 1b991658290b..4355754d69b5 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_mode.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_mode.c @@ -671,10 +671,19 @@ static void ast_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update(struct drm_plane *plane, ast_handle_damage(ast_plane, shadow_plane_state->data, fb, &damage); } - ast_set_offset_reg(ast, fb); - ast_set_start_address_crt1(ast, (u32)ast_plane->offset); - - ast_set_index_reg_mask(ast, AST_IO_SEQ_PORT, 0x1, 0xdf, 0x00); + /* + * Some BMCs stop scanning out the video signal after the driver + * reprogrammed the offset or scanout address.
