Hi, Siqueira and I worked on a solution to reduce the usage of drm_edid_raw in the AMD display driver, since the current guideline in the DRM subsystem is to stop handling raw edid data in driver-specific implementation and use opaque `drm_edid` object with common-code helpers.
In short, this series approaches the issue of maintaining DC as an OS-agnostic component by creating a mid layer to isolate `drm_edid` helpers that need to be called in the DC code, while allowing other OSes to implement their specific implementation. This is an extension of [1]. - Patch 1 addresses a possible leak added by previous migration to drm_edid. - Patches 2-6 use common-code, drm_edid helpers to parse edid capabilities instead of driver-specific solutions. - Patches 7-8 are groundwork to reduce the noise of Linux/DRM specific code in the DC shared code - Patch 9 creates a mid layer to make DC embraces different ways of handling EDID by platforms. - Patch 10-11 move open-coded management of raw EDID data to the mid layer created before. - Patch 12 adds drm_edid to dc_sink struct and a mid-layer helper to free `drm_edid`. - Patch 13 switch dc_edid to drm_edid across the driver in a way that the DC shared code is little affected by Linux specific stuff. There are three specific points where we still use drm_edid_raw() in the driver: 1. raw edid data for write EDID checksum in DP_TEST_EDID_CHECKSUM via drm_dp_dpcd_write(), that AFAIK there is no common code solution yet; 2. open-coded connectivity log for dc link detection, that maybe can be moved to drm (?); 3. open-coded parser that I suspect is a lot of duplicated code, but needs careful examining. I suggest to address those points in a next phase for regression control. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20250308142650.35920-1-m...@igalia.com/ Let me know yours thoughts!
