drm/i915: Correct eDP panel power sequencing delay computations
Store the panel power sequencing delays in the dp private structure,
rather than the global device structure. Who knows, maybe we'll get
more than one eDP device in the future.
From the eDP spec, we need the following numbers:
T1 + T3 Power on to Aux Channel operation (panel_power_up_delay)
This marks how long it takes the panel to boot up and
get ready to receive aux channel communications.
T8 Video signal to backlight on (backlight_on_delay)
Once a valid video signal is being sent to the device,
it can take a while before the panel is actuall
showing useful data. This delay allows the panel
to get something reasonable up before the backlight
is turned on.
T9 Backlight off to video off (backlight_off_delay)
Turning the backlight off can take a moment, so
this delay makes sure there is still valid video
data on the screen.
T10 Video off to power off (panel_power_down_delay)
Presumably this delay allows the panel to perform
an orderly shutdown of the display.
T11 + T12 Power off to power on (panel_power_cycle_delay)
So, once you turn the panel off, you have to wait a
while before you can turn it back on. This delay is
usually the longest in the entire sequence.
Neither the VBIOS source code nor the hardware documentation has a
clear mapping between the delay values they provide and those required
by the eDP spec. The VBIOS code actually uses two different labels for
the delay values in the five words of the relevant VBT table.
**** MORE LATER ***
Look at both the current hardware register settings and the VBT
specified panel power sequencing timings. Use the maximum of the two
delays, to make sure things work reliably. If there is no VBT data,
then those values will be initialized to zero, so we'll just use the
values as programmed in the hardware. Note that the BIOS just fetches
delays from the VBT table to place in the hardware registers, so we
should get the same values from both places, except for rounding.
VBT doesn't provide any values for T1 or T2, so we'll always just use
the hardware value for that.
The panel power up delay is thus T1 + T2 + T3, which should be
sufficient in all cases.
The panel power down delay is T1 + T2 + T12, using T1+T2 as a proxy
for T11, which isn't available anywhere.
For the backlight delays, the eDP spec says T6 + T8 is the delay from the
end of link training to backlight on and T9 is the delay from
backlight off until video off. The hardware provides a 'backlight on'
delay, which I'm taking to be T6 + T8 while the VBT provides something
called 'T7', which I'm assuming is s
On the macbook air I'm testing with, this yields a power-up delay of
over 200ms and a power-down delay of over 600ms. It all works now, but
we're frobbing these power controls several times during mode setting,
making the whole process take an awfully long time.
