[ Upstream commit f0ddbb1eed1898286d2bd99fd6ab64ca9700d267 ]
Some older NVIDIA and some newer NVIDIA hardware/firmware seems to have issues with address only transactions (firmware rejects them).
Add an option to the core drm dp to avoid address only transactions, This just puts the MOT flag removal on the last message of the transfer and avoids the start of transfer transaction.
This with the flag set in nouveau, allows eDP probing on GB203 device.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: 1. **Fixes Critical Hardware Functionality**: The commit addresses a significant bug where eDP displays cannot be probed on certain NVIDIA hardware (GB203 and others). The commit message explicitly states: "This with the flag set in nouveau, allows eDP probing on GB203 device." Without this fix, users with affected hardware cannot use their displays - a core functionality issue. 2. **Low Regression Risk - Opt-in Design**: The code changes show this is implemented as an opt-in feature through the `no_zero_sized` boolean flag: ```c /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var 0001-Fix- Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-inference-prompt-to-utilize- CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-latest-version-of-clap.patch Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE README.md analyze_merge_commit.sh dpp_rcg_backport_analysis.md io_uring_analysis.txt ksmbd_analysis.txt merge_commit_analysis.txt model prompt src target test_gpio_cleanup.txt test_patch.txt @no_zero_sized: If the hw can't use zero sized transfers (NVIDIA) model/ prompt/ src/ target/ bool no_zero_sized; ``` The modified behavior only activates when this flag is explicitly set, meaning existing functionality remains unchanged for all other hardware. 3. **Minimal and Contained Changes**: The code modifications are limited to: - Adding a single boolean field to the `drm_dp_aux` structure - Wrapping existing zero-sized transaction code in conditional checks: `if (!aux->no_zero_sized)` - Adding a special case to remove the MOT flag on the last message when the flag is set 4. **Historical Precedent**: Similar commits addressing DP AUX transaction issues have been backported: - Commit #2 (drm/nouveau/i2c/gf119-: add support for address-only transactions) was backported to fix display regressions - Commit #5 (drm/bridge: analogix_dp: properly handle zero sized AUX transactions) was explicitly marked with "CC: stable@vger.kernel.org" 5. **Affects Multiple Hardware Generations**: The commit message indicates this affects "Some older NVIDIA and some newer NVIDIA hardware/firmware", suggesting a widespread issue across different hardware generations that stable kernel users would encounter. 6. **Well-Tested Solution**: The commit has been: - Reviewed by Ben Skeggs (nouveau maintainer) - Reviewed and tested by Timur Tabi (NVIDIA engineer) - Signed off by Dave Airlie (DRM maintainer) The commit clearly meets stable kernel criteria: it fixes an important bug (display functionality), has minimal risk due to its opt-in nature, doesn't introduce new features or architectural changes, and addresses a real hardware compatibility issue that affects users.
