Having the EDID override debugfs directly update the EDID property is problematic. The update is partial only. The driver has no way of knowing it's been updated. Mode list is not updated. It's an inconsistent state. Detach debugfs EDID override from the property update completely. Only set and reset a separate override EDID copy from debugfs, and have it take effect only at detect (via EDID read). The copy is at connector->edid_override, protected by connector->edid_override_mutex. This also brings override EDID closer to firmware EDID in behaviour. Add validation of the override EDID which we completely lacked. Note that IGT already forces a detect whenever tests update the override EDID. v2: Add locking (Ville) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/4c875f8e06c4499f498fcf876e1233cbb155ec8a.1666614699.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
