Hi Daniel, Chris Gen7 and Gen8 platforms have a different live status register (0x61114) and we need not to rely on ISR on that. As Sonika mentioned, We have been using this register for our commercial releases, and found them reliable across a wide range of monitors. On the other hand, Bsepc clearly mentions, to check the live status before even try to read EDID. The current DRM nightly code doesn't do that, and we have received few errors from Gen7 Chromebooks where you can still read valid EDID on HDMI hot-unplug. So I think this patch and solution is ready, and it should go in.

Again, not going to take this with random gen checks. I want your fix for handling hpd on other platforms, then roll this out everywhere. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
