What displays has this been tested with? Getting this sequencing
right is so painful, and things like DSI are tricky to get to light
up.

That FIFO is between the HVS and the HDMI PVs, so this was obviously
tested against that. Dave also tested the DSI output IIRC, so we should
be covered here.

DSI wasn't working on the first patch set that Maxime sent - I haven't
tested this one as yet but will do so.
DPI was working early on to both an Adafruit 800x480 DPI panel, and
via a VGA666 as VGA.
HDMI is obviously working.
VEC is being ignored now. The clock structure is more restricted than
earlier chips, so to get the required clocks for the VEC without using
fractional divides it compromises the clock that other parts of the
system can run at (IIRC including the ARM). That's why the VEC has to
be explicitly enabled for the firmware to enable it as the only
output. It's annoying, but that's just a restriction of the chip.

I'm more concerned with "make sure we don't regress pre-pi4 with this
series" than "pi4 displays all work from the beginning"

unfortuntely i can confirm this. With this patch series (using Maxime's
git repo with multi_v7_defconfig) my Raspberry Pi 3 B hangs up while
starting X (screen stays black, heartbeat stops, no more output at the
debug UART). AFAIR v2 didn't had this issue.

Did it happen with a DSI display or something else?
I've been trying to setup the DSI display on an RPi3 today, but noticed
that it looks like there's a regression in next that prevents the HDMI
driver to load entirely (without my patches).

with my HDMI display (HP ZR2440w). At first everything looks good
(Raspbian splash screen is displayed), but before the real workspace is
displayed this issue happens.

I took your rpi4-kms branch and switched before your series and
everything works fine. I will try to bisect the offending commit.

I tested the DSI today on an RPI3, and I had to fix an issue with the
HVS-PV muxing, but otherwise it works with this series. Otherwise, the
HDMI and TXP work on the Pi3 too, I'll give a try to the VGA adapter on
it next week to test DPI too.
As a side note, my DSI display without my patches gives DSI transfer
timeouts at boot, since at least (mainline) 5.4, I haven't tested
further back. It just stalls the modeset for a while, but the display
works fine after that.
Does that ring any bell?
