Currently, for a given content-protection request, the kernel selects the highest version of HDCP supported by the panel and the platform. This makes the testing/debugging difficult for lower versions of HDCP. E.g. In case both the lower and the higher HDCP versions are supported then the higher version of HDCP will always be selected and the lower HDCP version cannot be tested without changing the setup. A solution for this was proposed in an IGT patch [1] by removing "mei_hdcp" module, but a need for a generic future-proof solution was identified. As suggested by the community members, this patch attempts to add a new debugfs per connector for requesting a specific version of HDCP for debug/testing environment. The test can request for a specific HDCP version and set the appropriate content-protection connector properties to test the required version. The kernel will consider the request if the HDCP version is sufficient for the requested content-protection. To make the design simpler, the debugfs for requesting the HDCP version can be only set when the content-protection is disabled. In case, the test tries to write the debugfs while a request for content-protectiont is ongoing, the write will be failed. So the test needs to make sure that the content-protection is disabled before requesting for an HDCP version via debugfs.
