Subject: [RFC PATCH] drm: bridge: adv7511: get edid in hpd_work to update CEC phys address

From: Alvin Šipraga <[email protected]>

The adv7511 driver is solely responsible for setting the physical
address of its CEC adapter. To do this, it must read the EDID. However,
EDID is only read when either the drm_bridge_funcs :: get_edid or
drm_connector_helper_funcs :: get_modes ops are called. Without loss of
generality, it cannot be assumed that these ops are called when a sink
gets attached. Therefore there exist scenarios in which the CEC physical
address will be invalid (f.f.f.f), rendering the CEC adapter inoperable.

Address this problem by always fetching the EDID in the HPD work when we
detect a connection. The CEC physical address is set in the process.

Hi, I'm sending this as an RFC patch because:

- The added prototype is a bit crude, but I want feedback on the idea
first before moving around a bunch of functions to avoid said
prototype
- I'm not sure if the rationale stated above is correct. I am not very
familiar with the drm subsystem so perhaps there is something obvious
that I am missing. At any rate, this solved the issue of an inoperable
CEC adapter when the downstream MIPI-DSI was not used.

I'm also wondering if this is robust enough to work when a sink just
pulses HPD to signal that its EDID has changed. Currently the hotplug
notifier is only invoked when the connected state changes (e.g. from
disconnected to connected), and so I only check the EDID in such
scenarios too. But is that always the case? Might we get an HPD
interrupt and the connectivity state remains the same?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
