Re: [RFC v2 6/8] drm/i915/dp: Enable Intel's HDR backlight interface (only SDR for now)

On Wed, 16 Sep 2020, Lyude Paul lyude@redhat.com wrote:

So-recently a bunch of laptops on the market have started using DPCD backlight controls instead of the traditional DDI backlight controls. Originally we thought we had this handled by adding VESA backlight control support to i915, but the story ended up being a lot more complicated then that.

Simply put-there's two main backlight interfaces Intel can see in the wild. Intel's proprietary HDR backlight interface, and the standard VESA backlight interface. Note that many panels have been observed to report support for both backlight interfaces, but testing has shown far more panels work with the Intel HDR backlight interface at the moment. Additionally, the VBT appears to be capable of reporting support for the VESA backlight interface but not the Intel HDR interface which needs to be probed by setting the right magic OUI.

On top of that however, there's also actually two different variants of the Intel HDR backlight interface. The first uses the AUX channel for controlling the brightness of the screen in both SDR and HDR mode, and the second only uses the AUX channel for setting the brightness level in HDR mode - relying on PWM for setting the brightness level in SDR mode.

For the time being we've been using EDIDs to maintain a list of quirks for panels that safely do support the VESA backlight interface. Adding support for Intel's HDR backlight interface in addition however, should finally allow us to auto-detect eDP backlight controls properly so long as we probe like so:

• If the panel's VBT reports VESA backlight support, assume it really does support it
• If the panel's VBT reports DDI backlight controls:
  • First probe for Intel's HDR backlight interface
  • If that fails, probe for VESA's backlight interface
  • If that fails, assume no DPCD backlight control
• If the panel's VBT reports any other backlight type: just assume it doesn't have DPCD backlight controls

This is what I was referring to in my reply to another patch, regarding who calls what.

We can have a number of combinations with the standard VESA interface, the proprietary interface and its modes, the eDP PWM pin control, and the mixed modes.

In particular the mixed modes require the use of both. If we move the VESA code to drm core as helpers, they can't have any i915 specific in them.

So here's what I'm thinking. For eDP brightness control, could we organize this under a higher level API, perhaps in the existing API in intel_panel.c, that calls the DPCD brightness hooks (either VESA or proprietary), *if* available, and according to return values from those hooks, optionally *also* calls the eDP PWM hooks for mixed mode?

In pseudo code:

bool call_pwm = true;

if (backlight->aux_funcs->hook) call_pwm = backlight->aux_funcs->hook();

if (call_pwm) backlight->pwm_funcs->hook();

Could we define the aux_funcs in a way that the interface could be generic enough to have drm aux helpers assigned there? i.e. with the current VESA code moved to core. Or, HDR hooks as the case may be.

I stress that I'm not requesting you do all of this now. But I really would like to have a view into how we could make this work neatly in the future, with a) standard VESA DPCD brightness code moved to drm core, and b) the standard VESA + eDP PWM pin mixed mode working, c) the proprietary DPCD + eDP PWM pin mixed mode working, in a way that aren't wildly different from each other?
