* CHAMELIUM: igt@kms_chamelium@dp-edid-read - warn - Chamelium RPC call failed: RPC failed at server.  <class 'chameleond.utils.i2c.I2cBusError'>:I2C access error
  - https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/CI_DRM_5488/fi-kbl-7500u/igt@kms_chamelium@dp-edid-read.html

From initial analysis of the logs themselves, the tests are passing, but it appears we're getting an out of band error during DP hotplug, specifically an error code sent to IGT as a result of a command sent via XML-RPC.

I don't see anything obvious in dmesg at this point indicating the time in which the error occurred with respect to the passing dp-edid-read subtest. The two commands sent as part of dp-edid-read are "ApplyEdid" and "Plug", so perhaps the plug event is taking too long to return or getting some unexpected i2c delays?

I do see this around the time of the failure (dmesg):

Specifically those last few lines are unique to the dmesg log (only time we get an I2C defer from the Chamelium).

I am planning to work on this further early next week when I get access to a Chamelium device to try to reproduce.

The latest failure is interesting, since it actually results in a failed test. From the logs, it's a little unclear in the warn case why we are getting an RPC call to the Chamelium outside of a running test. The assert location is the same as the failure case, so I'd expect the test to fail in the first case as well.

That said, given that 1) we don't have full logs for the successful case and 2) we don't have *any* logs coming off of the Chamelium itself, there isn't a lot to go on. I have a patch up on igt-dev which attempts to extract a little more information from the CI log, although it will only hit in a failure case. Unfortunately the patch requires a new package be added to the CI system. I have a request for this in i915-infra: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gfx-ci/i915-infra/issues/29.

Next steps here are to:
1) Reproduce manually
   - I haven't been successful there since this issue seems specifically related to DP connectors while my test system only has an HDMI connector. I'll look into this next week.
2) Add better logging capability in these kms_chamelium tests.
   - This is probably better in the long term anyway to reduce debug time of these types of problems.
   - This logging can also come from IGT or from the chameleond daemon running on the Chamelium board itself. If I can't get traction in IGT, I'll look into updating chameleond.

Another thing that might be interesting is to start producing debug logging even for tests which succeed, at least for CI. I'll see if that's a possibility and possibly file another i915-infra request if it looks promising.

Added one more i915-infra request: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gfx-ci/i915-infra/issues/31 to add more information for passing tests. I'll follow up there.

Bumping to Medium given the issue seems most likely to be in the interaction between IGT and Chamelium.
