This is wrong however, since we still want to allow userspace to disable CRTCs on no-longer-present MSTB ports by changing the DPMS state to off and this still requires that we retrieve an encoder. So, fix this by always returning a valid encoder regardless of the state of the MST port. Changes since v1: - Remove mst atomic helper, since this got replaced with a much simpler solution Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20181008232437.5571-6-lyude@xxxxxxxxxx (cherry picked from commit a9f9ca33d1fe9325f414914be526c0fc4ba5281c) Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@xxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c index 0f14c0d1669c..7f155b4f1a7d 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c @@ -404,8 +404,6 @@ static struct drm_encoder *intel_mst_atomic_best_encoder(struct drm_connector *c struct intel_dp *intel_dp = intel_connector->mst_port; struct intel_crtc *crtc = to_intel_crtc(state->crtc); - if (!READ_ONCE(connector->registered)) - return NULL; return &intel_dp->mst_encoders[crtc->pipe]->base.base; }
