drm/i915: Fix pre-skl DP AUX precharge length
DP v1.1+ says: "The DisplayPort transmitter, which is the driving end for a request transaction, pre-charges the AUX-CH+ and AUX-CH- to a common mode voltage by transmitting 10 to 16 consecutive 0’s in Manchester II code. After the active pre-charge, the transmitter sends an AUX Sync pattern. The AUX Sync pattern must be as follows: Start with 16 consecutive 0s in Manchester-II code, which results in a transition from low to high in the middle of each bit period. Including active pre-charge pulses, there shall be 26 to 32 consecutive 0s before the end of the AUX_SYNC pattern." BDW bspec says: "Used to determine the precharge time for the Aux Channel. During this time the Aux Channel will drive the SYNC pattern. Every microsecond gives one additional SYNC pulse beyond the hard coded 26 SYNC pulses. The value is the number of microseconds times 2. Default is 3 decimal which gives 6us of precharge which is 6 extra SYN pulses for a total of 32." CPT bspec says the same thing apart from: "... Default is 5 decimal which gives 10us of precharge which is 10 extra SYNC pulses for a total of 36." So it looks like to match the max of 32 of the DP spec we should just always program this extra precharge time to 3. Unfortunately g4x/ibx bspec doesn't have this clarification, but since the cpt default was still the same 5 as for g4x/ibx let's assume the behaviour was always the same. I also did a bit more archaeology and found the following: commit e3421a18 ("drm/i915: enable DP/eDP for Sandybridge/Cougarpoint") added the precharge==3 for snb commit 092945e1 ("drm/i915/dp: Use auxch precharge value of 5 everywhere") tried to change it to be 5 for snb commit 6b4e0a93 ("Revert "drm/i915/dp: Use auxch precharge value of 5 everywhere"") went back to 3 for snb due to a regression So I think the value of 5 was just always wrong, but I guess very few display actually get upset if we do too many SYNCs. Also DP 1.0 did not specify any max value for this, whereas DP 1.1+ added the max==32 wording. Additionally I hooked up a scope to a few machines with the following findings: - ibx and cpt both give us the expected 32 total sync pulses with precharge==3 - ctg is a bit different, it has the 10 hardcoded precharge sync pulses same as later platforms (so we get at least 26 sync pulses in total). However the additional precharge length (which is what we're changing here) is not done with sync pulses. Instead ctg does this part of the precharge with a steady DC voltage. If we wanted to 100% match DP 1.1+ here we should perhaps set prechange length to 0, but less precharge might make AUX less reliable, and so far we're not aware of any problems due to the DC precharge. Hence I think precharge==3 is probably the best choice here too to make the total length of precharge consistent with the later platforms.
