Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/msm/dp: allow eDP sinks without DP_SINK_COUNT
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 18:17:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917124706.421107-1-vk092kumar@gmail.com> (raw)
Some eDP sinks, especially fixed-format eDP-to-HDMI bridge chips with
no downstream AUX-capable panel behind them, do not report a non-zero
DP_SINK_COUNT even though they participate normally in DPCD capability
exchange and link training.
Treating sink_count == 0 as a permanent disconnect is valid for external
DisplayPort, but it breaks eDP probe/enable paths in
msm_dp_display_prepare_link().
Use the same eDP exemption as drm_dp_read_sink_count_cap() for the raw
sink_count checks in this driver, via a small shared helper, so valid eDP
outputs are not rejected as disconnected just because the downstream sink
does not expose a usable DP_SINK_COUNT.
Tested on a Qualcomm QCS6490-based board driving a fixed-format
eDP-to-HDMI bridge IC (chrontel,ch7218a).
