drm_bridge_hpd_enable()/drm_bridge_hpd_disable() callbacks call into
the respective driver's hpd_enable()/hpd_disable() ops. These ops control
the HPD enable/disable logic which in some cases like MSM can be a
dedicate hardware block to control the HPD.
During probe_defer cases, a connector can be initialized and then later
destroyed till the probe is retried. During connector destroy in these
cases, the hpd_disable() callback gets called without a corresponding
hpd_enable() leading to an unbalanced state potentially causing even
a crash.
This can be avoided by the respective drivers maintaining their own
state logic to ensure that a hpd_disable() without a corresponding
hpd_enable() just returns without doing anything.
However, to have a generic fix it would be better to avoid the
hpd_disable() callback from the connector destroy path and let
the hpd_enable() / hpd_disable() balance be maintained by the
corresponding drm_bridge_connector_enable_hpd() /
drm_bridge_connector_disable_hpd() APIs which should get called by
drm_kms_helper_disable_hpd().
The change makes sense to me, but I'm a bit worried this could introduce
a regression by leaving HPD enabled in some cases.
I agree that bridges shouldn't track the HPD state, it should be tracked
by the core and the .enable_hpd() and .disable_hpd() operations should
be balanced. Their documentation, however, doesn't clearly state this,
and the documentation of the callers of these operations is also fairly
unclear.
Could you perhaps try to improve the documentation ? With that,
Yes, sure, Let me upload another patch to improve the documentation of
.enable_hpd(), .disable_hpd() and its callers.
