Hi,

Thanks for your patch.
I'm wondering how you can trigger this infinite loop ?

Also this looks like a simple fix, that can be easily backported, so I'm
adding stable in Cc.

If Thomas has no objections, I can push it to drm-misc-fixes.

Yeah, a bit more context for this bug would be welcome. It's hard to
judge the fix without.

Best regards

Hi Thomas and Jocelyn,

What we do in ast_dp_set_on_off() is a handshake between host driver
and bmc-fw to confirm
the operation, on/off, is completed.

We use some scratch registers in bmc to handshake with host. This
handshake only work if
BMC's scu-lock is opened. If scu-lock is opened too late, then it
could lead to this issue.

Best regards
Jammy

Thanks a lot. Can you please send a new version of this patch with this
information in the commit message? Please also mention why 200 ms is a
good upper limit.

The code currently waits and then possibly breaks the loop. Should the
if-branch be located before the mdelay() statement to avoid any
unnecessary waiting?

Please also send the patch from your Aspeed email address. Our scripts
do not accept patches where the sender differs from the Signed-off-by tag.

Best regards
Thomas
