This series adds support for fully describing the USB/DP topology on
ChromeOS Trogdor devices in DT. Trogdor devices have a single DP phy in
the AP that is muxed to one of two usb type-c connectors depending on
which port asserts HPD first to the EC. We'd like to know which port is
connected to an external monitor to provide a better experience to the
user about things like which type-c port is displaying DP or which
type-c hub is acting up, etc. Describing the connection all the way from
the source to the connector will allow us to do this.

DRM core patches: These are used to implement lane assignment for DP
altmode configurations through the drm_bridge code. The typec code will
use this to tell the DP phy how many lanes of DP to drive and which
lanes to drive out to the USB type-c connector. Adding support for lane
assignment allows us to implement DP muxing as well, physically
splitting the DP lanes on the DP phy so that hardware doesn't have to
use an analog mux to steer two DP lanes to one or the other type-c port.

Type-c core patches: These add some devm helpers so that the next
patches in the series can skip open-coding devres helpers for
unregistering typec switches and muxes.

DRM aux hpd patches: These implement an auxiliary device for USB type-c
DP alternate mode. I took Dmitry's suggestion and moved the code that
does the remapping into this driver. The existing hpd bridge is wrapped
so as to avoid changing the current users. It also registers a typec mux
and switch (if applicable) so that the DP altmode pin assignment and
port orientation can be passed to the switch callbacks. We'll still need
to implement logic in the phy layer to handle configuration.

Cros EC typec patches: This ties together everything that comes before it in
this series. The EC typec driver registers the drm_dp_typec_bridge that
can signal HPD from the type-c connector through the bridge chain, mux
the DP phy in software so that we don't have to use an analog mux, and
implement orientation control for boards like Kukui that directly
connect the DP phy to the type-c port, necessitating lane assignment to
flip the lanes to match the cable orientation.

Changes from v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240819223834.2049862-1-swboyd@chromium.org
 * Use devm_add_action_or_reset() for typec patches
 * Fix kernel-doc
 * Document devcon_match_fn_t before extending it
 * Include err.h in typec header
 * Document devm_typec_switch_register()
 * Remove struct cros_typec_dp_bridge and fold it into parent
 * Drop unevaluatedProperties in some places
 * Change name of registered typec switches to include dev_name of
   parent to avoid collisions

Changes from v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240815003417.1175506-1-swboyd@chromium.org
 * Move most of the binding bits to usb-switch.yaml
 * Move google,cros-ec-typec binding to usb/
 * Implement mode-switch and orientation-switch typec controls in
   drm_dp_typec_bridge driver
 * Get rid of public APIs that would be used to assign pins or
   orientation of the port
 * Add devm helpers for typec mux and switch registration
 * Add a way to match fwnodes while walking the graph based on the
   endpoint

Changes from v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240210070934.2549994-1-swboyd@chromium.org
 * Too many to count!
 * Split out the DRM bits into this series
 * Moved the logic into dp-aux-hpd bridge driver
 * Drive the bridge from cros_ec_typec driver instead of globbing onto
   the ACPI centric cros-typec-switch driver
 * During that process drop a lot of patches that aren't needed anymore
 * Move the DT graph and other properties to the cros-ec-typec binding
 * Skip mode-switch/orientation-switch properties because we're not
   registering typec structs anymore

No, we can't use that. We need to know which endpoint in the remote
fwnode is connected to the fwnode we're searching from. This is how we
know which typec mux structure is associated with which type-c port so
we can drive DP there. We might have two endpoints connected to the same
fwnode and then we wouldn't be able to differentiate the endpoint and
the typec mux to configure.

I've removed this note now.

Just my 2c:

The stubs above look fine from my POV, they help us to cleanup the users
of the API. The register/unregister callbacks are not. The switch
providers should clearly know whether the API is actually available or
not. Compare this to how other subsystems (regulators, interconnects,
etc) provide stubs for consumer API only.

In other words, please consider sending a patch that drops provider-side
Type-C MUX API stubs.

Is it a separate port or is it an endpoint of the same upstream-facing
(non-connector-facing) SS port?

What is the usecase to delare less than 4 lanes going to the USB-C

Based on our disccusions at LPC, here are several DT examples that seem
sensible to implement this case and several related cases from other
ChromeBooks.

typec {
	compatible = "google,cros-ec-typec";

	port {
		typec_dp_in: endpoint {
			remote-endpoint = <&usb_1_qmp_phy_out_dp>;
		};
	};

	usb_c0: connector@0 {
		compatible = "usb-c-connector";
		reg = <0>;

		ports {
			port@0 {
				reg = <0>;
				usb_c0_hs_in: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&usb_hub_dfp1_hs>;
				};
			};

			port@1 {
				reg = <1>;
				usb_c0_ss_in: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&usb_hub_dfp1_ss>;
				};
			};
		};
	};

	usb_c1: connector@1 {
		compatible = "usb-c-connector";
		reg = <1>;

		ports {
			port@0 {
				reg = <0>;
				usb_c1_hs_in: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&usb_hub_dfp2_hs>;
				};
			};

			port@1 {
				reg = <1>;
				usb_c1_ss_in: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&usb_hub_dfp2_ss>;
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

&usb_1_qmpphy {
	ports {
		port@0 {
			endpoint@0 {
				data-lanes = <0 1>;
				// this might go to USB-3 hub
			};

			usb_1_qmp_phy_out_dp: endpoint@1 {
				remote-endpoint = <&typec_dp_in>;
				data-lanes = <2 3>;
			};
		}
	};
};

-------

typec {
	connector@0 {
		port@1 {
			endpoint@0 {
				remtoe = <&usb_hub_0>;
			};

			endpoint@1 {
				remote = <&dp_bridge_out_0>;
			};
		};
	};

	connector@1 {
		port@1 {
			endpoint@0 {
				remtoe = <&usb_hub_1>;
			};

			endpoint@1 {
				remote = <&dp_bridge_out_1>;
			};
		};
	};
};

dp_bridge {
	ports {
		port@1 {
			dp_bridge_out_0: endpoint@0 {
				remote = <usb_c0_ss_dp>;
				data-lanes = <0 1>;
			};

			dp_bridge_out_1: endpoint@1 {
				remote = <usb_c1_ss_dp>;
				data-lanes = <2 3>;
			};
		};
	};
};

-------

This one is really tough example, we didn't reach a conclusion here.
If the EC doesn't handle lane remapping, dp_bridge has to get
orientation-switch and mode-switch properties (as in the end it is the
dp_bridge that handles reshuffling of the lanes for the Type-C). Per the
DisplayPort standard the lanes are fixed (e.g. DPCD 101h explicitly
names lane 0, lanes 0-1, lanes 0-1-2-3).

typec {
	connector@0 {
		port@1 {
			endpoint@0 {
				remtoe = <&usb_hub_0>;
			};

			endpoint@1 {
				remote = <&dp_bridge_out_0>;
			};
		};
	};
};

dp_bridge {
	orientation-switch;
	mode-switch;
	ports {
		port@1 {
			dp_bridge_out_0: endpoint {
				remote = <usb_c0_ss_dp>;
				data-lanes = <0 1 2 3>;
			};
		};
	};
};

I have given this a lot of thought in the last several days, thanks for
the interesting problem.

Basically, as I said during LPC, I feel that this is an overkill to be
handled in the drm_bridge layer. In most other usecases the lane
configuration is static and doesn't change. MIPI DSI standard, for
example, explicitly disallows that: "The number of Lanes used shall be a
static parameter.  It shall be fixed at the time of system design or
initial configuration and may not change dynamically." (MIPI DSI 1.3,
section 6.1).

Following the struct drm_connector_hdmi introduction I think we are
getting closer and closer to the struct drm_connector_dp, which should
record all DP-related data to be used by DisplayPort connectors. An
example of a field in this struct-to-be might be `u8 num_lanes`. In the
normal DP / uDP cases it will be static, in case of USB-C AltMode it
will be dynamic and change depending on pinconf being configured.

I don't quite follow this comment. This is an input DP endpoint/port.

I'm not aware of any usecase. The 'maximum: 3' is the max value in the
cell, i.e. 0, 1, 2, or 3.

(Apologies for getting back to this late. I've been brewing on this topic
for a month; only appropriate for Halloween.)

This is the Trogdor case, one DP controller with 2 lanes DP coming out
that is steered with an analog mux controlled by the EC:

This is one Corsola case, one DP controller (IT6505) that's an external
bridge that has 4 lanes DP but only 2 lanes of DP are usable at a time
because 2 physical lanes are wired to one usb-c-connector while the
other 2 physical lanes are wired to the other usb-c-connector. I say
"one Corsola case" because there's also a DP bridge (ANX7625) on some
Corsola variants that only has two DP lanes with a crosspoint switch
that can send those DP lanes out of one of two pairs of lanes. The other
two lanes are for USB3 output data if the part is connected to USB3 on
the input side. I suspect this ANX7625 case can be described in the same
way as below with two output endpoints and data-lanes describing which
lanes are used for either DP endpoint.

(TL;DR: I think I have a plan with the last paragraph in this section, so
I'll hack on it for a bit to see what happens.)

I'm not thrilled about having two endpoints in the SuperSpeed port@1 to
hold both signals in the Corsola case but not the Trogdor case. The
problem is that there's only one DP endpoint on Trogdor and we can't
have two remote-endpoint properties in there pointing to either
usb-c-connector. But then on Corsola we have two DP endpoints and they
both can't go to one DP input node in the typec node's graph.

To harmonize this the typec graph can have one DP input endpoint on
Trogdor while the typec graph can have two DP input endpoints on
Corsola. In both cases, the typec graph would have two USB input
endpoints, and then we can connect output endpoints to each
usb-c-connector node. It would be similar to my existing binding in this
series, except now the typec DP port can have multiple input endpoints.

I understand from our discussions at LPC that I should use
drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() from the displayport altmode driver
(drivers/usb/typec/altmodes/displayport.c) to tell the DP bridge like
ANX7625 or IT6505 which output endpoint should be displaying DP. I think
dp_altmode_probe() looks at the usb-c-connector node's parent, e.g.
typec in the examples above, for the drm_bridge. That means we'll need
to register a drm_bridge in the cros-ec-typec compatible node? Or we
need to use the 'displayport' property in cros-ec-typec to point at the
drm_bridge node?

Either way the problem seems to be that I need to associate one
drm_bridge with two displayport altmode drivers and pass some fwnode
handle to drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() in a way that we can map
that back to the right output endpoint in the DP bridge graph. That
seems to imply that we need to pass the fwnode for the usb-c-connector
in addition to the fwnode for the drm_bridge, so that the drm_bridge
code can look at its DT graph and find the remote node connected.
Basically something like this:

  void drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event(struct fwnode_handle *connector_fwnode,
                                       struct fwnode_handle
*usb_connector_fwnode,
                                       enum drm_connector_status status)

(We might as well also pass the number of lanes here)

Corsola could work with this design, but we'll need to teach
dp_altmode_probe() to look for the drm_bridge elsewhere besides as the
parent of the usb-c-connector node. That implies using the 'displayport'
property in the cros-ec-typec node or teaching dp_altmode_probe() to
look for the port@1/endpoint@1 remote-endpoint handle in the
usb-c-connector graph.

Assuming the bindings you've presented here are fine and good and I got
over the differences between Trogdor and Corsola, then I can make mostly
everything work with the drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() signature
change from above and some tweaks to dp_altmode_probe() to look for
port@1/endpoint@1 first because that's the "logical" DP input endpoint
in the usb-c-connector binding's graph. Great! The final roadblock I'm
at is that HPD doesn't work on Trogdor, so I can't signal HPD through
the typec framework.

This series fixes that problem by "capturing" HPD state from the
upstream drm_bridge, e.g. msm_dp, by hooking the struct
drm_bridge_funcs::hpd_notify() path and injecting HPD into the typec
messages received from the EC. That's a workaround to make the typec
framework see HPD state changes that are otherwise invisible to the
kernel. Newer firmwares actually tell us the state of HPD properly, but
even then we have to read a gpio mux controlled by the EC to figure out
which usb-c-connector is actually muxing DP when HPD changes on either
typec_port. Having a drm_bridge in cros-ec-typec helped here because we
could hook this path and signal HPD if we knew the firmware was fixed.
If we don't have the drm_bridge anymore, I'm lost how to do this.

Maybe the right answer here is to introduce a drm_connector_dp_typec
structure that is created by the TCPM (cros-ec-typec) that sets a new
DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DP_TYPEC bridge op flag? And then teach
drm_bridge_connector about this new flag, similar to the HDMI one. The
drm_bridge could implement some function that maps the typec_port
(usb-c-connector) to the upstream drm_bridge (ANX7625) graph port,
possibly all in drm_bridge_connector_oob_hotplug_event() so that nothing
else really changes. It could also let us keep hooking the hpd_notify()
path for the workaround needed on Trogdor. And finally it may let us
harmonize the two DT bindings so that we only have one port@1/endpoint
node in the usb-c-connector.

Are those logical or physical lanes?

I think we'll punt on this one anyway though. We don't have any plans to
do this orientation control mechanism so far. Previous attempts failed
and we put an extra orientation switch control on the board to do the
orientation flipping.

This is the question: is this a separate port or just an endpoint on the

I think this is a bit of an overkill.

The drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() is fine as it is, it gets
"fwnode_handle to report the event on".

What needs to be changed (in my humble opinion) is the
drm_connector_find_by_fwnode() function (or likely a new function is to
be added): if it can not find drm_connector for the passed fwnode, it
should look it up on the parent, then on parent's parent, etc, until we
actually find the drm_connector (good) or we reach the root (sad).

And finally after getting the drm_connector, the oob_hotplug_event()
callback should also receive the fwnode argument. This way the connector
(or the bridge) can identify the fwnode (aka usb-c-connector in our
case) that caused the event.

WDYT?

Hmm, I thought that a normal DP's HPD GPIO works on the trogdor. Was I
misunderstanding it? But then we don't know, which USB-C connector
triggered the HPD...

It's probably okay to add one, but let me think if we can work without
it. Can we make EC driver listen for that single HPD GPIO (by making it
an actual GPIO rather than "dp_hot") and then react to it?

I think we have lightly discussed adding drm_connector_displayport, so
that part is okay. But my gut feeling is that there should be no _typec
part in thart picture. The DRM framework shouldn't need to know all the
Type-C details.

Physical lanes as far as I understand.

Okay, it's definitely easier this way.

Yes, that was my proposal. This way we know the origin device (bridge /
connector) and let it take care of any details on its own.

I think that the final bridge should be the IT6505. It can save you from
some troubles, like the inter-bridge lane negotiation. Please remember
that using lanes 2-3 as primary lanes doesn't seem to fall into the
standard DisplayPort usage. It is documented by USB-C and only because
of the orientation switching.

Maybe that's just it? Register DP_bridge (or QMP PHY) as
orientation-switch? Then you don't need any extra API for the lane
mapping? The cross-ec-typec can provide orientation information and the
USB-C-aware controller will follow the lane mapping.

Why do we need these two ports? Can't &usb_hub_dfpN_ss be connected
directly to the usb_cN_ss_in? I understand that you probably want to
express the internal structure of the lane switching, but I think that's
a bit of the overkill. Leaving this to the other commenters / DT
maintainers.

port@1 is for SS lanes, so something is wrong here.

Does it change anything from the DP point of view? It is still either
lanes 0-1 or lanes 2-3? I'd really like to inject the hotplug OOB event
to the dp_bridge letting it get one of the endpoints as a HPD even
source.

I see. So the HPD event gets delivered to the DP controller, but we
really need some API to read the port? If it's not the
orientation-switch, of course.

If the final bridge is IT6505 then drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() isn't
called and I think we're OK. But then we have to traverse the
remote-endpoint of the usb-c-connector to IT6505 in displayport.c in the
Corsola case while knowing to look at the parent of the usb-c-connector
node and traversing the remote-endpoint to the QMP phy in the Trogdor
case. The logic in dp_altmode_probe() is like

  if (port@1/endpoint@1 exists in usb-c-connector)
    connector_fwnode = port@1/endpoint@1/remote-endpoint
  else if (cros-ec-typec/port exists)
    connector_fwnode = cros-ec-typec/port@0/endpoint/remote-endpoint
  else
    original stuff

If we have the crazy three usb-c-connector design it can still work
because we'd have something like

  cros-ec-typec {
    port {
      dp_endpoint: endpoint {
        remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml0_ml1>;
      };
    };

    usb-c-connector@0 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss0>;
       };
       // Implicitly dp_ml0_ml1
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@1 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss1>;
        };
        endpoint@1 {
          remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml2_ml3>;
        };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@2 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss2>;
        };
       // Implicitly dp_ml0_ml1
      };
    };
  };

(I like thinking about this 3 connector case because it combines both
Trogdor and Corsola designs so I can talk about both cases at the same
time)

I don't know what happens when we have 4 connectors though, with 2 going
to one pair of lanes and 2 going to the other 2 lanes. Maybe it's better
to always have a DP input port in cros-ec-typec to avoid this problem
and map back to the endpoint explicitly.

  cros-ec-typec {
    port {
      dp_endpoint0: endpoint@0 {
        remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml0_ml1>;
      };
      dp_endpoint1: endpoint@1 {
        remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml2_ml3>;
      };
    };

    usb-c-connector@0 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss0>;
       };
       endpoint@1 {
         remote-endpoint = <&dp_endpoint0>;
       };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@1 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss1>;
        };
        endpoint@1 {
          remote-endpoint = <&dp_endpoint1>;
        };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@2 {
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss2>;
        };
        endpoint@1 {
          remote-endpoint = <&dp_endpoint1>;
        };
      };
    };
  };

Or use a displayport property that goes to connector node itself so that
we don't extend the graph binding of the usb-c-connector.

  cros-ec-typec {
    usb-c-connector@0 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_ml0_ml1>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss0>;
       };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@1 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_ml2_ml3>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss1>;
        };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@2 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_ml2_ml3>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss2>;
        };
      };
    };
  };

  it6505 {
    ports {
      port@1 {
        dp_ml0_ml1: endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <??>;
        };
        dp_ml2_ml3: endpoint@1 {
          remote-endpoint = <??>;
        };
      };
    };
  };

The logic could look at a node like usb-c-connector@2, find
altmodes/display node, and look for a 'connector' property that points
at the endpoint of the last bridge. If we don't use the OF graph binding
it makes it easier to point at the same endpoint in the QMP phy or the
IT6505 graph from more than one usb-c-connector. This also makes it very
clear that we intend to pass that fwnode as the 'connector_fwnode' to
oob_hotplug_event().

If we want to actually populate the 'remote-endpoint' property of IT6505
we will need to make a graph in cros-ec-typec.

  cros-ec-typec {
    port {
      dp_endpoint0: endpoint@0 {
        remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml0_ml1>;
      };
      dp_endpoint1: endpoint@1 {
        remote-endpoint = <&dp_ml2_ml3>;
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@0 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_endpoint0>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss0>;
       };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@1 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_endpoint1>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss1>;
        };
      };
    };
    usb-c-connector@2 {
      altmodes {
        displayport {
          connector = <&dp_endpoint1>;
        };
      };
      port@1 {
        endpoint {
          remote-endpoint = <&hub_ss2>;
        };
      };
    };
  };

  it6505 {
    ports {
      port@1 {
        dp_ml0_ml1: endpoint@0 {
          remote-endpoint = <dp_endpoint0>;
        };
        dp_ml2_ml3: endpoint@1 {
          remote-endpoint = <dp_endpoint1>;
        };
      };
    };
  };

and then the logic in displayport.c will have to check if the
'connector' property points at a graph endpoint, traverse that to the
remote-endpoint, and consider that the connector_fwnode.

I'm not really following but I don't think the DT binding discussed here
prevents that.

We don't need port@2 because we know that DP goes there.

Nothing changes from the DP point of view. I understand that you want
the bridge to see one of its endpoints as the 'connector_fwnode' passed
to oob_hotplug_event().

Yes. This is needed to understand what USB type-c connector the DP
signals should go to. In the case of Corsola/IT6505 it's needed to know
which two lanes should be sent if both type-c connectors/ports are
capable of DP altmode. On Corsola, the EC could tell the kernel that
both ports are in DP altmode but the EC is also controlling the AUX
channel mux that decides which usb-c-connector type-c port is actually
displaying DP.

I'd say, definitely ugh. Maybe we can add the swnode with the
"displayport" property pointing back to the DP bridge / endpoint.

I think this has been frowned upon. Not exactly this, but adding the
displayport = <&foo>.

Thus it can only go to the swnode that is generated in software by the
cros-ec driver.

I'm thinking about:

it6505 {
  orientation-switch;

  ports {
    port@1 {
      it6505_dp_out: remote-endpoint = <&cros_ec_dp>;
      data-lanes = <0 1>;
    };
  };
};

cros-ec {
  port {
    cross_ec_dp: remote-endpoint = <&it6505_dp_out>;
  };

  connector@0 {
    reg = <0>;
    cros,dp-orientation = "normal";

    ports {
      // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
    };
  };

  connector@1 {
    reg = <1>;
    cros,dp-orientation = "reverse";

    ports {
      // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
    };
  };

  connector@2 {
    reg = <2>;
    cros,dp-orientation = "reverse";

    ports {
      // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
    };
  };

  connector@3 {
    reg = <3>;
    cros,dp-orientation = "normal";

    ports {
      // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
    };
  };
};

The cros-ec registers single drm bridge which will generate HPD events
except on Trogdor, etc. At the same time, cros-ec requests the
typec_switch_get(). When the cros-ec detects that the connector@N it
being used for DP, it just generates corresponding typec_switch_set()
call, setting the orientation of the it6505 (or QMP PHY). The rest can
be handled either by EC's HPD code or by DP's HPD handler, the
orientation should already be a correct one.

So, yes. It requires adding the typec_switch_desc implementation _in_
the it6505 (or in any other component which handles the 0-1 or 2-3
selection). On the other hand as I wrote previously, the 0-1 / 2-3 is
the USB-C functionality, not the DP one.

Do you have a pointer to that discussion? I'd like to understand the
reasoning.

I recall swnode as a way to sidestep figuring out the DT bindings for
usb typec. Where is this swnode being made? Somewhere inside the typec
framework?

I don't think we should be adding typec code to pure display hardware
drivers like IT6505. To keep the driver focused on display stuff I
proposed implementing runtime lane assignment for drm_bridge chains
because DP has lanes. My understanding is that not all display
technologies have lanes, so implementing generic lane assignment
functionality is overkill/incorrect. DP has physical lanes in hardware
though, and those physical lanes are assigned to certain pins in the
type-c DP altmode spec, so it's not overkill to think about lanes when
the bridge is a DP bridge wired up to a type-c connector.

Long story short, I don't see how we can avoid _any_ lane assignment
logic in drm_bridge. The logic shouldn't walk the entire bridge chain,
but it should at least act on the bridge that is a DP bridge. I think
you're saying pretty much the same thing here, but you want the lane
remapping to be done via the typec layer whereas I want it to be done in
the drm_bridge layer. To me it looks out of place to add a
typec_switch_desc inside each DP drm_bridge because we duplicate the
logic about USB type-c DP altmode lane assignment to each DP bridge. A
DP bridge should just think about DP and not know or care about USB
type-c.

This is what's leading me to think we need some sort of lane assignment
capability at the DP connector. How that assignment flows from the DP
connector created in drm_bridge_connector.c to the hardware is where it
is less clear to me. Should that be implemented as a typec_switch_desc,
essentially out of band with drm_bridge, or as some drm_bridge_funcs
function similar to struct drm_bridge_funcs::hdmi_*()? If you look at
IT6505 in it6505_get_extcon_property() it actually wants to pull the
orientation of the type-c port with extcon_get_property(EXTCON_DISP_DP,
EXTCON_PROP_USB_TYPEC_POLARITY). Maybe pushing the orientation to the DP
bridge is backwards and we should be exposing this as some sort of
connector API that the drm_bridge can query whenever it wants.

What about ANX7625 where two DP lanes go to a cross-point switch before
leaving the chip on one of two pairs of lanes? This hardware is a DP
bridge smashed together with an orientation switch (typec_switch_desc)
so that you can simply wire the output pins up to a USB type-c connector
and support 2 lanes DP altmode. Qualcomm's QMP phy is quite similar.
Presumably we'd want the ANX driver to implement both a drm_bridge and a
typec_switch_desc if it was directly connected to a usb-c-connector
node. It's also interesting to think of the DT binding here, likely we
would have one output port in the ANX node's graph that represents the
combined DP and USB data that's connected to the SuperSpeed endpoint in
the usb-c-connector.

In the case where two lanes are wired to one USB type-c connector and
the other two lanes are wired to a different USB type-c connector it
would be odd to keep the typec_switch_desc and figure out a way to
mangle the lanes we want for a USB type-c connector by setting the
orientation of the typec_switch_desc. The chip isn't really acting as a
typec orientation control here because it isn't combining USB data and
DP data for a single USB type-c port. In fact, the type-c port has an
orientation and we actively don't want to tell the ANX7625 driver about
that port orientation because the orientation control is implemented
between the ANX part and the type-c connector by some redriver
controlled by the EC.

To satisfy all these cases it almost feels like we need to make the DP
connector have an "orientation", per your earlier DT snippet it would be
"reversed" or "normal", even though in hardware a DP connector has no
such concept because it can only be plugged in one way. All cases look
to be covered if we say that the drm_connector can have an orientation,
"normal" or "reversed", and we allow the bridge drivers to query that
whenever they want with some bridge/connector API. The typical case will
be that the orientation is normal, but we can make
drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() change that to "reversed" when the
port is different.

This leaves us with the binding you propose above, and then some sort of
property that indicates the orientation of the DP connector. Instead of
being vendor specific I wonder if we can simply have a property like
"dp-reverse-orientation" in the connector node that the displayport.c
driver can look for to set the connector orientation to the reverse one
when DP altmode is entered on the port.

This is what I have:

 it6505 {
   ports {
     port@1 {
       it6505_dp_out: remote-endpoint = <&cros_ec_dp>;
       data-lanes = <0 1>;
     };
   };
 };

 cros-ec {
   port {
     cross_ec_dp: remote-endpoint = <&it6505_dp_out>;
   };

   connector@0 {
     reg = <0>;

     ports {
       // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
     };
   };

   connector@1 {
     reg = <1>;
     dp-reverse-orientation;

     ports {
       // all USB HS and SS ports as usual;
     };
   };

or ANX, swap out for it6505 node:

 anx7625 {
   ports {
     port@1 {
       anx7625_dp_out: remote-endpoint = <&cros_ec_dp>;
       data-lanes = <0 1>;
     };
   };
 };

and then a drm_bridge is created in cros-ec to terminate the bridge
chain. The displayport altmode driver will find the drm_bridge and the
drm_connector from the cros-ec node. When DP altmode is entered the
displayport altmode driver will set the drm_connector orientation based
on the presence of the dp-reverse-orientation property. We'll be able to
hook the hpd_notify() path in cros-ec by adding code to the drm_bridge
made there to do the HPD workaround. I'm not sure we need to use an
auxiliary device in this case, because it's a one-off solution for
cros-ec. And we don't even need to signal HPD from the cros-ec
drm_bridge because the oob_hotplug event will do it for us. If anything,
we need that displayport.c code to skip sending the hotplug event when
"no-hpd" is present in the cros-ec node. Note, this works for any number
of usb-c-connector nodes. And finally, DP bridges like IT6505 don't need
to implement a typec_switch_desc, they can simply support flipping the
orientation by querying the drm_connector for the bridge chain when they
see fit. ANX7625 can support that as well when it doesn't see the
'orientation-switch' property.

Did I miss anything? I suspect a drm_connector having an orientation is
the most controversial part of this proposal.

DisplayPort has fixed lanes assignment in the standard. So any driver
that reassigns / reallocates DisplayPort lanes dynamically implements
Type-C functionality.

And it6505_get_extcon_property() / EXTCON_PROP_USB_TYPEC_POLARITY is a
Type-C code, isn't it?

The DP connector doesn't have the orientation, as you pointed out. Only
Type-C does.

Yes... I understand that having orientation-switch handling in the DRM
driver sounds strange, but this is what we do in the QMP PHY driver. It
makes the code easier, as it keeps lane remapping local to the place
where it belongs - to the Type-C handlers.

Sort of? It's combining DP and USB_TYPEC enums there so it's not very
clear if it's one or the other instead of just both.

The QMP PHY is a type-c PHY, similar to ANX7625. It sits on the output
of the DP and USB PHYs and handles the type-c orientation and lane
merging for different USB type-c alternate modes. It's not a great
example of a plain DP bridge because it combines USB and USB type-c
features.

Either way, doing this through Type-C handlers is weird because the port
orientation in the Type-C framework is for the connector and there is an
orientation control hardware that handles the orientation already. For
example, with the IT6505 part on Corsola, the orientation is controlled
by a redriver part that the EC controls. It takes the DP and USB signals
and routes them to the correct pins on the usb-c-connector depending on
the cable orientation. The input side pinout is basically 2 or 4 lanes
DP and 2 lanes USB and the output side pinout is the USB type-c pinout
SSTXRX1 and SSTXRX2.

This redriver is equivalent to the QMP PHY type-c part. Maybe to bring
this example closer to QMP we can imagine if the QMP PHY was split into
two pairs of lanes, and the USB functionality wasn't used. The
orientation control for a usb-c-connector would be on a redriver that
takes 2 DP lanes from the QMP PHY as input. Saying that this QMP PHY is
the "orientation-switch" with that property in DT is confusing, because
it isn't controlling the orientation of the type-c port. The orientation
is handled by the redriver. That redriver may even be controlled by the
kernel as an orientation-switch.

I understand that the QMP PHY driver has implemented the lane control
for orientation with a typec_switch_desc, but the QMP PHY is a plain DP
PHY in this scenario. How would the type-c handlers work here? We
couldn't call them through the type-c framework as far as I can tell.

This is why I'm thinking the end of the bridge chain needs to have some
sort of orientation. If we had that then the place where the chain ends
and becomes muxed onto the usb-c-connector, i.e. the redriver, would be
where the DP bridge is told that it needs to flip the lanes. In the
cases I have, the redriver is the EC, and so we've combined them all
together in one node, cros-ec-typec. In the QMP PHY case the redriver is
the QMP PHY type-c part that sits on the DP and USB PHYs and sends their
signals out of the SoC.

Maybe the DT property in the ANX7625 or IT6505 node should be something
like "dp-orientation-switch" and then we have the type-c framework find
this property? Then we would need to add support for that property in
IT6505 using a typec_switch_desc, which is weird. I guess it all feels
like a hack because it's not always the case that the DP PHY is glued to
a USB type-c PHY.

But EXTCON_PROP_USB_TYPEC_POLARITY is just a Type-C, nothing about DP in it.

If QMP PHY is a plain DP PHY, it usually has no support for lane remapping
(e.g. phy-qcom-edp doesn't).

Let me reiterate, please: lane management is outside of the DisplayPort
spec, at least as far as I can understand it. All lane remapping
(especially a dynamic one) is a pure vendor extension to the standard.
I'm trying to find a way to support Corsola and Trogdor without adding
"this is done specially for Google" kind of API. Usually that doesn't
fly in the long term.

I understand that using Type-C API for the DRM bridge sounds strange.
But even the mentioned bridge uses Type-C API. It asks for the Type-C
polarity, not the DP polarity.

I think just "orientation-switch" is enough. In the end it's not a
"typec-orientation-switch".

It's extcon_get_property(it6505->extcon, EXTCON_DISP_DP,
EXTCON_PROP_USB_TYPEC_POLARITY, ...) which has EXTCON_DISP_DP in there,
so there's something about DP there. That's all I'm saying.

I understand that lane assignment isn't part of the DisplayPort spec,
while it is part of the USB Type-C DisplayPort Altmode spec.

I'm not entirely convinced that lane assignment is _only_ part of the
altmode spec and should be implemented with a typec switch though,
because I imagine some hardware design could be created that has two
DisplayPort connectors, just like these two USB-C connectors, and some
sort of HPD redriver logic similar to the EC that decides which DP port
"wins" and should have DP sent to it. Or perhaps 2 lanes DP to a DP
connector and 2 lanes DP sent to a DP to HDMI bridge (shudder). In
either case, USB type-c isn't involved.

It sounds like we're debating how to handle lane assignment in the
kernel. Either way, the code is going to be implemented in the bridge
driver because it's the one that has to change what physical lane a
logical lane is assigned to. The question is if it should be some sort
of bridge_funcs callback, or should bridge drivers hook into the typec
framework to expose an orientation switch, or something else?

I'm thinking we should introduce some sort of bridge_funcs callback that
can be called from the DP altmode driver, either parallel to the
drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() function or from it directly. If we
can pass the fwnode for the usb-c-connector to the oob_hotplug_event
callback, maybe that's all we need to figure out which lanes go where.
And then in the 2 DP connector muxing world we can call
drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() with one or the other DP connector
node, which will likely be children nodes of the "HPD redriver" device.

just to clarify: I'm only talking about a dynamic lane management here.
If the DP bridge hardware supports remapping lanes in a weird way and
board designers decided to use that "feature", then having a property
linke data-lanes = <2 1 3 0>; makes perfect sense to me.

/me keeps fingers crossed that hw designers won't do such a thing

I was assuming that orientation switch is such kind of a hook.

If you call it from drm_bridge_connector's oob_hotplug_event handler,
this should fly. Does it cover your 3-DP or 4-DP usecases?
