[RFC 2/5] drm/nouveau/kms: Don't probe eDP connectors more then once

[Lyude Paul]

eDP doesn't do hotplugging, so there's no reason for us to reprobe it (unless a
connection status change is being forced, of course).

[RFC 3/5] drm/i915/dp: Remove redundant AUX backlight frequency calculations

[Lyude Paul]

Noticed this while moving all of the VESA backlight code in i915 over to
DRM helpers: it would appear that we calculate the frequency value we want
to write to DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_SET twice even though this value never
actually changes during runtime. So, let's simplify things by just caching
this value in intel_panel.backlight, and re-writing it as-needed.

This isn't a full review, just something I spotted so far. Please see
inline.

This should be wrapped in

	if (intel_dp->edp_dpcd[2] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_AUX_SET_CAP)

but you do it in the next patch, so this patch is a bit broken.

[RFC 4/5] drm/dp: Extract i915's eDP backlight code into DRM helpers

[Lyude Paul]

Since we're about to implement eDP backlight support in nouveau using the
standard protocol from VESA, we might as well just take the code that's
already written for this and move it into a set of shared DRM helpers.

Note that these helpers are intended to handle DPCD related backlight
control bits such as setting the brightness level over AUX, probing the
backlight's TCON, enabling/disabling the backlight over AUX if supported,
etc. Any PWM-related portions of backlight control are explicitly left up
to the driver, as these will vary from platform to platform.

The only exception to this is the calculation of the PWM frequency
pre-divider value. This is because the only platform-specific information
required for this is the PWM frequency of the panel, which the driver is
expected to provide if available. The actual algorithm for calculating this
value is standard and is defined in the eDP specification from VESA.

Note that these helpers do not yet implement the full range of features
the VESA backlight interface provides, and only provide the following
functionality (all of which was already present in i915's DPCD backlight
support):

* Basic control of brightness levels
* Basic probing of backlight capabilities
* Helpers for enabling and disabling the backlight

Overall I like where this is going. Again, not a full review yet, just a
few notes below.

I think I'd go for s/backlight/brightness/g function naming thoughout,
to account for OLED. "Backlight" unnecessarily underlines the
technology.

I'd really like to have a way to get from struct drm_dp_aux to struct
drm_device to retain the device specific logging here. It'd be useful in
the lower level dpcd access functions too.

Hm, are we sure about this part? It makes sense in some places, but:

* The eDP spec refers to these as backlights
* "Brightness capability info" makes a bit less sense then backlight capability
info
* In general, it seems like we'd have a weird mix of "brightness" and
"backlight" in the docs in order for things to make sense

I'm fine with either though, although my vote is on backlight. In the mean time
I'm going to send a respin that's refactored + the one small change you
suggested in patch 3.

I'll put this on my todo list and try to get to this in the near future, I've
been thinking the same thing myself for a while now.

Sincerely,
   Lyude Paul (she/her)
   Software Engineer at Red Hat
   
Note: I deal with a lot of emails and have a lot of bugs on my plate. If you've
asked me a question, are waiting for a review/merge on a patch, etc. and I
haven't responded in a while, please feel free to send me another email to check
on my status. I don't bite!

[RFC 5/5] drm/nouveau/kms/nv50-: Add basic DPCD backlight support for nouveau

[Lyude Paul]

This adds support for controlling panel backlights over eDP using VESA's
standard backlight control interface. Luckily, Nvidia was cool enough to
never come up with their own proprietary backlight control interface (at
least, not any that I or the laptop manufacturers I've talked to are aware
of), so this should work for any laptop panels which support the VESA
backlight control interface.

Note that we don't yet provide the panel backlight frequency to the DRM DP
backlight helpers. This should be fine for the time being, since it's not
required to get basic backlight controls working.

For reference: there's some mentions of PWM backlight values in
nouveau_reg.h, but I'm not sure these are the values we would want to use.
If we figure out how to get this information in the future, we'll have the
benefit of more granular backlight control.
