[PATCH 6.2 regression fix] drm/nouveau/kms: Fix backlight registration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The nouveau code used to call drm_fb_helper_initial_config() from
nouveau_fbcon_init() before calling drm_dev_register(). This would
probe all connectors so that drm_connector->status could be used during
backlight registration which runs from nouveau_connector_late_register().

After commit 4a16dd9d18a0 ("drm/nouveau/kms: switch to drm fbdev helpers")
the fbdev emulation code, which now is a drm-client, can only run after
drm_dev_register(). So during backlight registration the connectors are
not probed yet and the drm_connector->status == connected check in
nv50_backlight_init() would now always fail.

Replace the drm_connector->status == connected check with
a drm_helper_probe_detect() == connected check to fix nv_backlight
no longer getting registered because of this.
