[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Don't require DMUB PSR caps before DCN 3.0

[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Don't require DMUB PSR caps before DCN 3.0

[Hugo Sales]

Commit 3c108046e1d6 ("drm/amd/display: Add power module on Linux") made
amdgpu_dm_set_psr_caps() return false unless dc->caps.dmub_caps.psr is
set. DC fills dmub_caps from dc_dmub_srv_query_caps_cmd(), which only
the DCN 3.0 and later hwseq init calls. On DCN 2.x the flag stays false,
so DC_PSR_MASK in amdgpu.dcfeaturemask, the documented way to turn PSR
on there, no longer does anything

On a Cezanne laptop (DCN 2.1, DMUB firmware 0x0101002B) with
amdgpu.dcfeaturemask=0xa, dmesg shows
"eDP-1: PSR support 0, DC PSR ver -1, sink PSR ver 1 DPCD caps 0x0",
although DC created a dmub_psr for the ASIC

Sending the caps query on DCN 2.1 too doesn't help. That firmware
answers it without error but reports psr as 0, and with the check
skipped it runs PSR 1 fine: psr_state reaches 6 on an idle screen

Keep the check only from DCN 3.0 on, where every ASIC with a DMUB PSR
engine queries the caps. DCN 3.01 skips the query, but it has no PSR
engine either. Before that commit no ASIC needed dmub_caps.psr.
edp_setup_psr() already returns false when the ASIC has neither a DMCU
nor a DMUB PSR engine

This needs "drm/amd/display: Take every stream out of self-refresh
before a modeset" first. Without it, turning off or unplugging an
external display while the eDP is in PSR hangs DMUB on DCN 2.1

Firmware 0x0101002B answers QUERY_FEATURE_CAPS with psr = 0 but still
runs PSR 1 without trouble. Is that field just not filled in by the DCN
2.1 firmware, and is there a version from which it can be trusted? If
so, I can check the caps there as well

Re: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: Don't require DMUB PSR caps before DCN 3.0

[Ray Wu]

We already have a similar fix internally that is planned for an upcoming DC release:

commit: drm/amd/display: Allow DC_PSR_MASK to enable PSR without DMUB PSR cap

Could you give it a try and see if it resolves the issue?

Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,

Happy to test it, but I can't find that commit. It isn't on amd-gfx and
it isn't in amd-staging-drm-next yet. Could you post it to the list, or
send it to me directly?

I'll try it on my ROG Flow X13 (DCN 2.1) with PSR. Since my patch reported the same problem, could the commit also carry a 
Reported-by/Tested-by for me?

Thanks,
Hugo
