Description David S. 2018-03-09 00:40:11 UTC
I have a J2-680L POS (Point Of Sale) that runs Manjaro Linux. The problem is that ANY kernel newer than 4.4.x will not enable the internal display and I am forced to use an external display.

This has been duplicated by testing with the latest releases of Fedora, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu.

The internal display will work up untill GRUB, after GRUB the display will go blank and is not detected by the system. This happens whether I am using modesetting or xf86-video-intel.

Here are a few bits of information relating to the system. If anything else is needed please let me know...

https://pastebin.com/rQKDaLf8

hwinfo --monitor
https://pastebin.com/k4rvVSPW

hwinfo --gfxcard
https://pastebin.com/qHQFJM9F

As a side note i also tried creating a x11 intel.conf containing:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "modesetting"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

To no avail which has now lead me to believe this is an regression.

Thanks.
Comment 1 Elizabeth 2018-03-09 21:01:18 UTC
Hi, is it possible that you test with latest kernel stable: https://www.kernel.org?
Comment 2 David S. 2018-03-10 10:33:51 UTC
I have the exact same results of no internal display with kernels 4.9.86 & 4.14.25 and 4.15.8.

The system works fine with an external monitor on the above mentioned kernels but the internal display does not function, it is not even detected.
Comment 3 Elizabeth 2018-03-12 17:14:23 UTC
Thank you for testing, could you please attach dmesg or kern.log, with drm.debug=0xe parameter on grub, on raw text, with boot information?
Comment 4 David S. 2018-03-13 22:09:45 UTC
Hi, here is the output of dmesg with the flags set at boot as requested..

Firstly just want to say thank you for you support in this matter, i really appreciate it.

Here is the dmesg with drm.debug=0xe from kernel 4.4.120 where the internal screen works as expected.

kernel_4-4-120_working_display

From the 4.4.120 dmesg:

After the DP-2 is detected:

Comment 9 Elizabeth 2018-03-15 16:17:24 UTC
If possible, could you try to replicate on kernel 4.13?
Comment 10 Ville Syrjala 2018-03-15 16:55:27 UTC
[   14.988821] [drm:intel_dp_read_dpcd [i915]] DPCD: 10 0a 82 40 00 00 01 00 02 00 00 00 10 01 00

means we were able to read the DPCD, and it has a valid revision number.

That leads me to suspect that the display might be saying that SINK_COUNT is zero.

Please run this:
dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 bs=1 skip=$((0x200)) count=1 2>/dev/null | xxd -p

Your kernel will need to be built with CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV=y for that to work.
Comment 11 David S. 2018-03-16 01:06:07 UTC
Hi, Elizabeth i only have access to the LTS kernels and current mainline, so i'm unable to test with kernel 4.13.

Ville, the output of that command returns "00".

The screen still isnt working after reboots and typing the command. Here is the configs used by my current kernel, which has already CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV=y set.

First of all. Sorry about spam.
This is mass update for our bugs. 

Sorry if you feel this annoying but with this trying to understand if bug still valid or not.
If bug investigation still in progress, please ignore this and I apologize!

If you think this is not anymore valid, please comment to the bug that can be closed.
If you haven't tested with our latest pre-upstream tree(drm-tip), can you do that also to see if issue is valid there still and if you cannot see issue there, please comment to the bug.
Comment 13 David S. 2018-04-03 00:00:56 UTC
Just updating to say that there is still no change using kernel 4.16.0

Looks like this was broken for you by

commit 30d9aa4265fe4b2b28239934770b2c2d59858df3
Author: Shubhangi Shrivastava <shubhangi.shrivastava@intel.com>

    drm/i915: Read sink_count dpcd always

in v4.7. (Did you ever try v4.5 or v4.6? I suspect those should have worked.)

I have seen very few displays with DPCD rev 1.0 like you have, and it's so old I've never been able to acquire the 1.0 or even 1.1 specs to see how the sink count part was written back then.

It seems to me that the current code is okay for DP 1.2 and later. But maybe we should look assume sink count == 1 for non-branch devices with DPCD 1.0/1.1.

I have the 1.0/1.1. SINK_COUNT always worked the same way. Ie. this looks to be a broken DP sink we're dealing with here.
Comment 18 Jani Nikula 2018-04-24 14:47:13 UTC
Please run this and report the result:

# dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 bs=1 skip=$((0x400)) count=12 2>/dev/null | xxd -p

Let's see if there's any chance we could quirk just that one sink.
Comment 19 David S. 2018-04-27 00:06:38 UTC
Hi,

The output from running the above mentioned command is...

000000434837353131100100

Thanks.
Comment 20 Jani Nikula 2018-04-27 08:26:05 UTC
(In reply to David S. from comment #19)
> 000000434837353131100100

So in newer DP spec the first three bytes would be the sink OUI which we could use to quirk different behaviour for the sink. Alas DPCD 1.0 has that as sink specific, and it doesn't have the OUI. Seems a bit risky to use that for quirking.

Ville, what do you think? Quirk all DPCD 1.0/1.1 or use unreliable stuff for quirking a specific device? Other ideas?
Comment 21 Ville Syrjala 2018-04-27 13:03:42 UTC
Can we get a full binary DPCD dump please?

dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 > dpcd

If that returns an error then you will have to use ddrescue instead of dd.
Uncompressed the complete dump should should 1MiB in size. Probably want to compress it with gzip before attaching.

Also can we get a copy of the EDID as well? This needs to be done with the kernel where the display still works.

Ville, have a look latest data
Comment 25 Ville Syrjala 2018-05-25 18:09:00 UTC
So we see "CH7511" in vendor specific bytes after the sink OUI. The OUI itself is 0. And we see that there are no downstream ports and SINK_COUNT==0 (which doesn't really make sense).

Actually this looks like it could be a new incarnation of bug #92172. That one was closed without a fix. Based on all the other google hits it looks like CH7511 doesn't take the DP/eDP specs seriously at all. Not sure if all CH7511 suck or if it's just a matter of the device manufacturers not configuring the thing correctly.

For instance in this case I also see the eDP cap bit being 0, but the registers at 0x700 have some backlight control junk at least. Although many of the values don't seem to make much sense when compared with the spec.
Comment 26 Peteris Rudzusiks 2019-05-12 14:11:08 UTC
I have a POS computer that also uses CH7511. Just like in David's case, the internal display of the POS is broken with Linux kernels 4.5+. The display shows no output. I can confirm that commit 30d9aa4265fe is the first commit since v4.4 that does not work.

For what it's worth, here is a patch for v4.19.35 that fixes the problem for me. Not sure if this is a proper fix or hacky workaround for broken hardware, but it works for me and maybe someone else finds it useful.

The CH7511 is not a branch device according to DPCD, so intel_dp_get_dpcd() function will return without actually using the incorrect SINK_COUNT variable.

Sadly it doesn't look like there's anything in the VBT that could help us. I think we'll need to quirk this.
