Description Kai-Heng Feng 2018-12-20 07:25:58 UTC
Kernel vision: drm-intel-nightly, cod/tip/drm-tip/2018-12-19.

When booting the system without HDMI cable plugged, the system can never detect HDMI cable afterward.

This issue is not observed when HDMI cable is plugged before boot, LSPCON gets probed successfully in this case. HDMI hotplug also works in this case.

I tried to increase both retry count and sleep time in lspcon_probe(), but it doesn't make any difference.

I also tested Windows 10. HDMI still works when the cable wasn't plugged before boot.
Comment 4 Lakshmi 2018-12-20 20:10:53 UTC
Swati, any comments here?
Comment 5 Swati Sharma 2018-12-21 13:14:09 UTC
Hi Kai-Heng-Feng,

To re-create same test scenario can be please elaborate how you are testing?
   1. Booting with which connector attached (if not HDMI)?
   2. After booting, are you doing hot-unplug of previous connector attached and 
      hot-plug of HDMI connector?
   3. After hot-plug of HDMI cable, are you seeing any blank screen/no signal?
   4. Are you executing any test?
Comment 6 Hugh Chao 2018-12-25 03:46:35 UTC
Hi, Swati,

1. No any connector attached.
2. If HDMI cable is plugged before boot, it will always have signal no matter how you hot-unplug and hot-plug HDMI.
3. If HDMI cable isn't connected before boot, It's always blank screen when we hot-plug the cable.
4. No, just normal boot up.
Comment 7 Swati Sharma 2018-12-26 12:06:55 UTC
Thanks Hugh Chao for the info. Seeing the logs where the LSP-Con works, LSP-Con chip being used is from Parade Tech. Can you please confirm whether you are seeing this issue in MCA LSP-Con chips as-well?

Is LSPCON chip swappable? The platform in question is already on the market so I am not sure it's feasible to test different LSPCON chips.
Comment 9 Swati Sharma 2019-01-02 13:39:20 UTC
It's ok. There are 2 vendors of lspcon chip-Parade and MCA.
Can you please provide following info:
1. cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_display_info
2. attach /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_vbt
3. are you using any external dongle/cable?

Yes, it's a mini desktop so HDMI cable is required for this setup.
Comment 14 Anthony Wong 2019-01-14 02:32:04 UTC
Any update?
Comment 15 Swati Sharma 2019-01-14 09:17:01 UTC
Hi Wong,

I tried replicating issue locally on kabylake gen9 platform, however couldn't succeed. No lspcon probe issue is observed.

Configuration provided by you and mine is:
<Swati>
connector 83: type DP-1, status: connected
DP branch device present: yes
                Type: HDMI
                ID: 175IB0
                HW: 1.2
                SW: 8.41
                Max TMDS clock: 600000 kHz
                Max bpc: 12
<Kai-Heng Feng>
connector 109: type DP-3, status: connected
	DP branch device present: yes
		Type: HDMI
		ID: 175IB0
		HW: 1.0
		SW: 7.35
		Max TMDS clock: 600000 kHz
		Max bpc: 12
Here the difference is in HW and SW f/w. I will recommend you to please update to the latest sw f/w and test again.
Since Linux F/W Flash Tool is not ready yet to update the f/w, you can update f/w by booting with windows first and using their AuxUpdate tool.

In the logs of the failed case we can see "Native AUX CH down" and after that probe issue comes.
May be in the latest s/w f/w issue would have been resolved from the parade, if this needs a h/w update (which hopefully shouldn't be the case) then nothing can be done.

So, first update the s/w f/w, test and share your observation; only then we can take further steps.
Comment 16 Lakshmi 2019-02-13 11:26:18 UTC
Kai, have you verified the issue by updating fw? Any updates here?

The system was sent to HP and I don't know the follow-up.
Maybe Hugh can answer your question...

HP is still working on it, I'll feedback if I got any news
Comment 19 Kai-Heng Feng 2019-03-27 06:22:43 UTC
Same issue happens after the LSPCON FW update.
Seems like the HW and SW info also get cleared out:

                HW: 0.0
                SW: 0.0

FWIW I don't think the lspcon firmware matters here - as Windows doesn't have this issue on the old firmware.

Correct. Give me some time to debug. Will update.

Hi Swati,

The new FW which provided by HP is not working either. But our QA leader judged that video failed after booting by hot-plug is not a blocking issue, so we lower the priority of this issue. Thanks.

Hi Kai-Heng Feng,

If we go by theory, there is no 1:1 mapping of Windows and Linux driver architecture. Design for lsp-con is different in both. In Windows, you are able to probe lsp-con because during hotplug windows drivers reinitialize all the connectors whereas in linux, connectors are initialized only once. It means during boot time, if lspcon is not probbed..we won't be able to probe it during hotplug.

Since I am not having the same setup, I can't reproduce the issue. Give me some time so that I can arrange for the setup and get back to you.

I understand Linux and Windows driver are quite different.
My point was, whether lspcon firmware has a bug or not is moot - software alone can make it work, or at least workaround it.

Sure, thanks for your effort.
Comment 31 Ville Syrjala 2019-05-24 15:20:20 UTC
I can't reproduce on a Gigabyte nuc like machine with Parade LSPCON.
OUI 00-1c-f8 dev-ID 175IB0 HW-rev 1.0 SW-rev 7.32

So probably either a firmware difference or the chip is wired up differently on the boards causing it to not respond for you until HPD gets asserted. We should probably change the lspcon code to behave more dynamically and not insist on being able to probe the chip at driver load time.

AFAIK this bug doesn't happen on other desktop systems.

Ok, please just let me know when there's a patch to test.
Comment 33 Lakshmi 2019-07-19 12:07:42 UTC
@Swati, any updates here? What are the next steps?
Comment 34 shashank.sharma@intel.com 2019-07-23 12:07:20 UTC
In the motherboard down mode, LSPCON is supposed to be powered on with the power supply from the board, and hence, it was supposed to be powered-on during the driver probe time. So if it's not getting powered on during probe, this seems like a board design error, and not a SW issue. (This is probably expecting LSPCON to work in dongle mode, which we do not support in driver). That also explains why we are not able to reproduce this issue with other parade based devices.

In order to work around this issue, we can add LSPCON probing in the hot-plug sequence, but that might come up with its own hotplug stability issues, like if the I2C over Aux bus is not stable yet, that might delay the hotplug handling path by adding some retries.

Also, this is only possible when the display master IRQ is getting the HPD interrupt, but it's getting missed due to unavailability on the connector on port. But as the IRQ signal is also coming via LSPCON, which is not powered-on until hotplug, there is also a possibility of missing the hotplug all-together, in which case, moving the probe is not going to help at all.

Ok we'll let vendor know about this.

We can use a DMI based quirk so other platforms won't be penalized.

This doesn't explain why Windows doesn't have this issue, it can reliably detect hot plugging event everytime.

I have a new Dell Precision 7540 that came with OEM Ubuntu LTS and I have the same errors in Ubuntu LTS and Arch stable and I also tried Kubuntu 19.10. So on all kernels and all Distro's I guess. I have both Intel and AMD Graphics and I am using the modesetting i915 driver as default. I also have the mesa hardware acceleration driver installed and xf86-video-amdgpu installed.

Hi Josh,
Can you confirm whether its MCA or Parade LSPCON?
If its MCA, please update your FW. 
Intel download center for NUC devices has FW V 1.77 available, along with the flashing utility.

Comment 39 Josh 2019-11-20 03:18:34 UTC
Swati comment #37 if I could ask a question here please. So you your telling me that I should try and update the HDMI firmware on a laptop. I mean I thought this would be part of the BIOS updates would it not??? My Bios just got updated on Oct 16th so I should have the newest firmware Dell has to offer for my HDMI port. My laptop does have a full size HDMI but as far as if it is a being a MCA or Parade LSPCON I have no clue. I get this error every single boot though I do know that for a fact and have gotten it since I bought the laptop new 1 1/2 months ago. The laptop came with Ubuntu and like I have said I have updated the Bios twice since I have had it. I am on Arch Linux with all the latest stable Kernel packages Arch has to offer so it is a problem. Oh I don't and have never had anything HDMI. I know us the people of the Linux world have to deal with errors so I have just been using the PC but I really hate to see them so I wish we could get a fix.Thanks .

What command are you using to see this info??? I am on Arch but if you can just give me whatever command you are using then maybe I can figure it out.

This shows you have only eDP connected, not any external devices and no
