Hi Maxime, Noralf and everyone,

Just as a quick update. I isolated the issue to the power management subsystem.
Unfortunately I know very little about the power management subsystem so
I don't think I can help.

There are two alternative dirty ad-hoc hacks that get things working.

- Commenting out the pm_runtime_put() / pm_runtime_get_sync() calls in vc4_vec.c
- Reverting this PR by Dom Cobley a.k.a. popcornmix:
   https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4639

Either of these approaches makes VEC mode switching work again. Obviously
neither is appropriate for a permanent solution.

I tried some random code permutations that came to my mind, like using the
vc4_encoder callbacks (e.g. post_crtc_powerdown) instead of the standard
enable/disable encoder callbacks, but to no avail.

Since the clocks and power management seem to be delegated to the firmware now,
my guess is that this might be a firmware issue, but I can't really check all
the firmware versions. It certainly crashes on the version currently available
in Raspberry Pi OS repos, and on this one:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-firmware/commit/4dde751. My Pi4 doesn't boot
using any newer firmware, at least not from USB - I might try some SD card
after the weekend.

Best regards,
Mateusz Kwiatkowski
