drm/i915: Get panel_type from OpRegion panel details
We've had problems on several occasions with using the panel type from the VBT block 40. Usually it seems to be 2, which often doesn't give us the correct timings for the panel. After some more digging I found a way to get a panel type via the OpRegion SWSCI GBDA "Get Panel Details" method. Let's try to use it. The spec has this to say about the output: "Bits [15:8] - Panel Type Bits contain the panel type user setting from CMOS 00h = Not Valid, use default Panel Type & Timings from VBT 01h - 0Fh = Panel Number" Another version of the spec lists the valid range as 1-16, which makes more sense since VBT supports 16 panels. Based on actual results from Rob's G45, 1-16 is what we need to accept. The other bits in the output don't look relevant for the problem at hand. The input is specified as: "Bits [31:4] - Reserved Reserved (must be zero) Bits [3:0] - Panel Number These bits contain the sequential index of Panel, starting at 0 and counting upwards from the first integrated Internal Flat-Panel Display Encoder present, and then from the first external Display Encoder (e.g., S/DVO-B then S/DVO-C) which supports Internal Flat-Panels. 0h - 0Fh = Panel number" For now I've just hardcoded the input panel number as 0. That would seem like a decent choise for LVDS. Not so sure about eDP when port != A. v2: Accept values 1-16 Filter out bogus results in opregion code (Jani) Add debug logging for all the different branches (Jani) Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rob Kramer <rob@solution-space.com> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94825Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1460359431-11003-1-git-send-email-ville.syrjala@linux.intel.comReviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Tested-by: Rob Kramer <rob@solution-space.com>
