drm/i915: Remove DDC pin sanitation
Stop with the VBT DDC pin sanitation, and instead just check that the appropriate DDC pin is still available when initializing a HDMI connector. The reason being that we want to start initializing ports in VBT order to deal with VBTs that declare child devices with seemingly conflicting ports. As the encoder initialization can fail for other reasons (at least for eDP+AUX) we can't know upfront which way the conflicts should be resolved. Note that the old way of sanitizing gave priority to the last port declared in the VBT, but now we sort of do the opposite by favoring the first encoder to successfully initialize. So far we're not aware of HDMI/DDC use cases where this would matter but for AUX CH (will be subject to a similar change) there are known cases where it matters. Also note that the old code fell back to the platform default DDC pin if the VBT pin was populated but invalid. That doesn't seem like such a great idea because the VBT might have later declared another port using that platform default pin, and so we might just be creating more DDC pin conflicts here. So lets not second guess the VBT and simply reject the entire HDMI encoder if the VBT DDC pin is invalid. v2: Pimp the commit message (Jani) Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230630155846.29931-4-ville.syrjala@linux.intel.comReviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
