[Bug 107414] "No EDID firmware found on connector" when display forced on and EDID file provided
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107414
Bug ID: 107414 Summary: "No EDID firmware found on connector" when display forced on and EDID file provided Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: chewi@gentoo.org
Created attachment 140869 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=140869&action=edit Kernel log showing one display on and one display off
I've been using drm.edid_firmware for a long time now to provide some stability in my setup, which includes an A/V receiver that isn't always on. However, I've found that it still isn't as stable as I'd like it to be because this alone doesn't force the display to be connected. Only the "e" option in the video parameter does that so I've added it and it works but only if the display is actually switched on at boot time!
It seems that the provided EDID file is initially ignored when the "e" option is checked, resulting in the following error and the display actually being forced off.
[drm:amdgpu_dm_connector_mode_valid [amdgpu]] *ERROR* No EDID firmware found on connector: HDMI-A-1 ,forcing to OFF!
This may be because the EDID file only seems to be read during a mode set. It certainly isn't because the file isn't available yet as I've added it to the initramfs to make sure and the second display that is switched on picks it up.

--- Comment #1 from Timothy Pearson tpearson@raptorengineering.com --- I'm also seeing this on 4.20 with amdgpu. In my case though it also triggers a problem with amdgpu, a problem that would not be hit if the options were honored correctly:

This is for a video broadcast system that "features" output sinks being connected and disconnected quite frequently; this should be handled seamlessly but Linux is not honoring the options here.
