and what's exactly the difference between those? And what's the actual issue here?
DP/HDMI is not detected unless plugged in at bootup. It's due to missing
HPD
events.
afaik Lyude was working on fixing all that, at least for some drivers. If there is something wrong, we still should fix the drivers, not adding ACPI workarounds.
Alex: do you know if there are remaining issues regarding that with amdgpu?
There was an issue with hpd events not making it to the audio side when things were powered down that was fixed with this patch set: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/316793/ Those patches depended on a bunch of alsa changes as well which may have not been available in the distro used for a particular OEM program.
FYI, the corresponding commit for ALSA part is destined for 5.4 kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/?id=a... 49db337a9d44ac5835cfce1ee873549011b27
BTW, Nouveau should suffer from the same problem. The patch to add the audio component support is found at: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/319131/
It sounds like 5.3rcX won't be a useful check then.
For HDMI/DP audio, right, the main pieces are still missing in 5.3. But there is no regression in this regard, OTOH.
So am I correct to understand that everything related to the AMD failures described in this thread should be in linux-next at this point?
I'm not sure what you're referring as "AMD failures", so leave this question to AMD people :)
