Hi,
we've got a machine showing a ghost DP2 output on a docking station.
The docking station has only one DP port and it's connected to DP1.
As a result, we get an DP2 active output containing the bogus VESA
standard modes 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 although it's not connected
at all.
Looking a bit deeply on it, it seems that the connector gives actually
the valid DPCD. So intel_dp_detect() returns
connector_status_connected. But since there is no real connection,
EDID isn't obtained. Thus of course no valid modes set.
Can you be more specific here? What DPCD does it return? Does it claim
to be a branch device? We don't currently get that case right, try for
instance plugging in a DP->VGA pigtail.
A quick patch below adds (moves) a check of EDID and returns the
disconnected state when no valid EDID is returned. An open question
is whether this is really safe. Is there any case where no valid EDID
is returned but the connection is still valid?
DisplayPort requires EDID. There may be a platform method for obtaining
it for eDP, but for normal DP it has to exist over AUXCH.
DVI and HDMI require it too, in fact. The only one that doesn't is VGA.
