drm/bridge: anx7625: Prevent endless probe loop
[ Upstream commit 1464e48d69ab7a50a377c9d39f5e5eb3cee2722e ]
During probe, the driver registers i2c dummy devices and populates the
aux bus, which registers a device for the panel. After doing that, the
driver can still defer probe if needed. This ordering of operations is
troublesome however, because the deferred probe work will retry probing
all pending devices every time a new device is registered. Therefore, if
modules need to be loaded in order to satisfy the dependencies for this
driver to complete probe, the kernel will stall, since it'll keep trying
to probe the anx7625 driver, but never succeed, given that modules would
only be loaded after the deferred probe work completes.
Two changes are required to avoid this issue:
* Move of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(), which can defer probe, to before
anx7625_register_i2c_dummy_clients() and
devm_of_dp_aux_populate_ep_devices(), which register devices.
* Make use of the done_probing callback when populating the aux bus,
so that the bridge registration is only done after the panel is
probed. This is required because the panel might need to defer probe,
but the aux bus population needs the i2c dummy devices working, so
this call couldn't just be moved to an earlier point in probe.
One caveat is that if the panel is described outside the aux bus, the
probe loop issue can still happen, but we don't have a way to avoid
it in that case since there's no callback available.
With this patch applied, it's possible to boot on
mt8192-asurada-spherion with
CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX7625=y
CONFIG_MTK_MMSYS=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=y
and also with
CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX7625=y
CONFIG_MTK_MMSYS=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=m
