drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Remove the mystery delay
Let's solve the mystery of commit bf1178c98930 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Add mystery delay to enable()"). Specifically the reason we needed that mystery delay is that we weren't paying attention to HPD. Looking at the datasheet for the same panel that was tested for the original commit, I see there's a timing "t3" that times from power on to the aux channel being operational. This time is specced as 0 - 200 ms. The datasheet says that the aux channel is operational at exactly the same time that HPD is asserted. Scoping the signals on this board showed that HPD was asserted 84 ms after power was asserted. That very closely matches the magic 70 ms delay that we had. ...and actually, in my testing the 70 ms wasn't quite enough of a delay and some percentage of the time the display didn't come up until I bumped it to 100 ms (presumably 84 ms would have worked too). To solve this, we tried to hook up the HPD signal in the bridge. ...but in doing so we found that that the bridge didn't report that HPD was asserted until ~280 ms after we powered it (!). This is explained by looking at the sn65dsi86 datasheet section "8.4.5.1 HPD (Hot Plug/Unplug Detection)". Reading there we see that the bridge isn't even intended to report HPD until 100 ms after it's asserted. ...but that would have left us at 184 ms. The extra 100 ms (presumably) comes from this part in the datasheet: > The HPD state machine operates off an internal ring oscillator. The > ring oscillator frequency will vary [ ... ]. The min/max range in > the HPD State Diagram refers to the possible times based off > variation in the ring oscillator frequency. Given that the 280 ms we'll end up delaying if we hook up HPD is _slower_ than the 200 ms we could just hardcode, for now we'll solve the problem by just hardcoding a 200 ms delay in the panel driver using the patch in this series ("drm/panel: simple: Support panels with HPD where HPD isn't connected"). If we later find a panel that needs to use this bridge where we need HPD then we'll have to come up with some new code to handle it. Given the silly debouncing in the bridge chip, though, it seems unlikely. One last note is that I tried to solve this through another way: In ti_sn_bridge_enable() I tried to use various combinations of dp_dpcd_writeb() and dp_dpcd_readb() to detect when the aux channel was up. In theory that would let me detect _exactly_ when I could continue and do link training. Unfortunately even if I did an aux transfer w/out waiting I couldn't see any errors. Possibly I could keep looping over link training until it came back with success, but that seemed a little overly hacky to me.
