Oh. I thought the test involved reading the DPCD for the CRC. I didn't realize the test sink not only calculates the CRC for the source to read from DPCD, but also makes a point of checking it. If so, we do need to disable dithering at modeset. Again, this is not a test failure according to the CTS (there's a mention of a visual inspection) but automation FTW.

So we need to disable dithering before that modeset or during intel_modeset_pipe_config() where it sets pipe_config->dither to true.

If we disable dithering here, DPR 120 which is calculating the CRC of the pixels on the rendered video pattern would already have dithering enabled on it. So how will this solve our issue of CRC failures in case of 18bpc test?

I can't find any mention in the specs that we couldn't enable/disable dithering on the fly. It's PIPE_MISC for BDW+ and PIPE_CONF for the rest. So I'm wondering about doing... 4. Disable dithering at intel_dp_sink_crc_start() and enable it again (according to config->dither) at intel_dp_sink_crc_stop(). It's similar to the hsw_disable_ips() and hsw_enable_ips() calls, but would have to cover more platforms. Ville, thoughts on changing dithering on the fly?

[Intel-gfx] DP compliance failure due to dithering for 18bpp video pattern
Hi All, We are seeing CRC check failures in some of the 18bpp video pattern DP Compliance tests causing the tests to fail. On further investigation, it is rootcaused to dithering that the i915 driver enables in case of 18bpp pipe configuration that messes up the CRC and causes the test to fail. Some of the approaches that can solve this problem are: 1. Add a new method in intel_dp.c to request the compliance test state. Call this new method in intel_display.c to not enable dithering during a compliance test. Issue with this is it makes the general portion of the driver compliance aware. 2. Move the dithering enable to compute_config methods in all encoder source files. Issue: Lot of duplicate code and DP is the only encoder that uses 18bpc. 3. Disable dithering at all times in the driver. However this can cause image quality issue with 8bpc plane and 6 bit pipe. Any suggestions on which approach can be implemented in order to pass compliance?
