This patch restricts usage of live status check for HDMI detection.
While testing certain (monitor + cable) combinations with various
intel platforms, it seems that live status register is not reliable
on some older devices. So limit the live_status check from VLV onwards.
This fixes a regression introduced in:

As I said before, I think this whole thing could be solved with a simple
two-liner here:
+ if (...)
+ live_status = true;
Yes I remember, and I replied on that already that why we would like to
keep the live status check. In fact I would be ok to remove this check
if you can suggest some other way of making this work for other
operating systems/sw platforms.
My two liner would keep the check.
Sorry, I might have not understood you properly.
Do you mean:
if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen < 7 && IS_IVYBRIDGE(dev)) {
live_status = true;
} else {
do the same looping for retry;
}
No, I mean
{
...
do loop;
if (!live_status)
DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Live status not up!");
+ if (don't trust live status)
+ live_status = true;
intel_hdmi_unset_edid();
if (intel_hdmi_set_edid(live_status)) {
...
}
In fact, this is what I have done.
If you see the change in this patch,
/* Lets make live status true for < VLV platforms */
bool live_status = true;
blah....
blah....
/* Check live status only for newer platforms */
if (this is VLV or later platforms) {
live_status = read_real_live_status();
}
intel_hdmi_unset_edid();
intel_hdmi_set_edid(live_status);
Now, my question is, do you want to remove live_status check for VLV and
other platforms too ? or this is good enough ?
No, I'm objecting to changing the entire code when you could just add
two lines. Also my way has the extra benefit that we keep the live
status check mostly working on these presumed "broken" platforms.
So the only difference to the current situation is that we would still
attempt the EDID read even if live_status came out as false, but thanks
to the extra delay from the live status polling we would hopefully
avoid spurious detection results since the EDID read gets delayed a bit.
Ok, thanks for this suggestion. I will do the change.
I was thinking of adding a warning, if we are going to read the EDID
without live status being set, sounds ok ?
intel_hdmi_unset_edid(connector);
if (intel_hdmi_set_edid(connector, live_status)) {
