From: Jean Delvare Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 00:21:35 +0000 (-0800) Subject: fb_ddc: fix DDC lines quirk X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b64d70825abbf706bbe80be1b11b09514b71f45e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git fb_ddc: fix DDC lines quirk The code in fb_ddc_read() is said to be based on the implementation of the radeon driver: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fc5891c8a3ba284f13994d7bc1f1bfa8283982de However, comparing the old radeon driver code with the new fb_ddc code reveals some differences. Most notably, the I2C bus lines are held at the end of the function, while the original code was releasing them (as the comment above correctly says.) There are a few other differences, which appear to be responsible for read failures on my system. While tracing low-level I2C code in i2c-algo-bit, I noticed that the initial attempt to read the EDID always failed. It takes one retry for the read to succeed. As we are about to remove this automatic retry property from i2c-algo-bit, reading the EDID would really fail. As a summary, the I2C lines quirk which is supposedly needed to read EDID on some older monitors is currently breaking the (first) read on all other monitors (and might not even work with older ones - did anyone try since October 2006?) After applying the patch below, which makes the code in fb_ddc_read() really similar to what the radeon driver used to have, the first EDID read succeeds again. On top of that, as it appears that this code has been broken for one year now and nobody seems to have complained, I'm curious if it makes sense to keep this quirk in place. It makes the code more complex and slower just for the sake of monitors which I guess nobody uses anymore. Can't we just get rid of it?
