There are a set of values in the drm_display_info structure for each
connector which hold information derived from EDID. These are computed
in drm_add_display_info. Before this patch, that was only called in
drm_add_edid_modes. This meant that they were only set when EDID was
present and never reset when EDID was not, as happened when the
display was disconnected.
One of these fields, non_desktop, is used from
drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property, the function responsible for
assigning the new edid value to the application-visible property.
Various drivers call these two functions (drm_add_edid_modes and
drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property) in different orders. This
means that even when EDID is present, the drm_display_info fields may
not have been computed at the time that
drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property used the non_desktop value to
set the non_desktop property.
I've added a public function (drm_reset_display_info) that resets the
drm_display_info field values to default values and then made the
drm_add_display_info function public. These two functions are now
called directly from drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property so that
the drm_display_info fields are always computed from the current EDID
information before being used in that function.
This means that the drm_display_info values are often computed twice,
once when the EDID property it set and a second time when EDID is used
to compute modes for the device. The alternative would be to uniformly
ensure that the values were computed once before being used, which
would require that all drivers reliably invoke the two paths in the
same order. The computation is inexpensive enough that it seems more
maintainable in the long term to simply compute them in both paths.
The API to drm_add_display_info has been changed so that it no longer
takes the set of edid-based quirks as a parameter. Rather, it now
computes those quirks itself and returns them for further use by
drm_add_edid_modes.
This patch also includes a number of 'const' additions caused by
drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property taking a 'const struct edid *'
parameter and wanting to pass that along to drm_add_display_info.
v2: after review by Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Removed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for drm_reset_display_info and
drm_add_display_info.
Added FIXME in drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property about
potentially merging that with drm_add_edid_modes to avoid
the need for two driver calls.
