During a hotplug cycle (such as a TV going out of suspend, or when the cable is disconnected and reconnected), the expectation is that the same state used before the disconnection is reused until the next commit. However, the HDMI scrambling requires that some flags are set in the monitor, and those flags are very likely to be reset when the cable has been disconnected. This will thus result in a blank display, even if the display pipeline configuration hasn't been modified or is in the exact same state. The solution we've had so far is to enable the scrambling-related bits again on reconnection, but the HDMI 2.0 specification (Section 6.1.3.1 - Scrambling Control) requires that the scrambling enable bit is set before sending any scrambled video signal. Using that solution thus breaks that expectation. The solution used by i915 is to do a full modeset on the connector so that we disable the video signal, enable the scrambling bit, and enable the video signal again. As such, we took that code and plugged it into vc4. It probably could have been turned into an helper, but it proved to be difficult for several reasons: * i915 has fairly different structures than simpler KMS drivers such as vc4, so doing some code that works with both proved to be difficult; * Other simpler drivers could reuse some of it (tegra, dw-hdmi), but it would still require to move some parameters currently stored in private structure that are needed to compute whether the scrambling is needed or not, and then inform the driver that it needs to be enabled. Some of those parameters are already in core structures (drm_display_mode, drm_display_info, bpc), but the output format isnt't. Adding it is fairly challenging since unlike the TMDS char rate or mode, there's no consensus on what format to pick in drivers, so it's not possible to write some generic code that can depend on it. For these reasons, we chose to duplicate the code for now, until someone else really needs it as well, in which case we will be able to convert it into a generic helper.
