That would sidestep the userspace bug. That of course won't work since we can't register encoders dynamically. I guess we'll just have to live with this slight discrepancy with the possible_crtcs. We could make the encoder<->pipe assignment totally flexible but that wouldn't actually change anything. We still get to pick one based on whatever reason we can think of, and using the pipe for that seems as good a reason as any. What we could try to remove is having separate MST encoders for each DDI port. But that would make encoder->port not work for MST again. So defintiely has downsides, and doens't do anything for the possible_crtcs thing. Bah. I'll just drop the TODO. > + */ > intel_encoder->pipe_mask = ~0; > > intel_encoder->compute_config = intel_dp_mst_compute_config; > -- > 2.21.0 -- Ville Syrjälä Intel _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
