Subject:  [PATCH] drm/i915/hdmi: Prune modes that require
HDMI2.1 FRL

HDMI2.1 requires some higher resolution video modes to be enumerated
only if HDMI2.1 Fixed Rate Link (FRL) is supported.
Current platforms do not support FRL transmission so prune modes that
require HDMI2.1 FRL.

If the hardware doesn't support FRL then it basically blocks HDMI2.1
feature.
Then it wont be possible to use any resolution above 4k60 is it?

Yes right. As I understand, the HDMI2.1a supersedes HDMI2.0b, and so the

platforms  supporting HDMI2.0 must now pass the HDMI2.1 CTS.
The HDMI2.1a spec introduces Marketing Feature names for 4K100, 4K120,
8k@50, 8k@60 with suffix A, and B.
Suffix A meaning mode supported without compression, and B meaning,
mode supported with compression.

There are CTS tests that expect these modes not to be enumerated, if the
source does support the given requirements.


Thanks for the clarification.

Instead of setting this frl_supported as false, can we get this info
from hardware, so that when our hardware supports it later it would be
easy to enable this.

We can have something like:

src_supports_frl()

{

/* FRL not supported in

return false;

}

Yes something like this looks good. It would be a good design to judge this based on the
Display version.

I do agree, we need to have this check when we have HDMI2.1 support for any platform.

In future patches, when FRL transmission will be enabled, at that time it would make sense to check for display version, and parse from VBT about what rate it allows  etc.

But currently, since we do not support this yet, the function src_supports_frl can only return false.
