Greetings,
When connected to a remote machine via the BMC KVM functionality, I am experiencing screen freezes on boot when using 6.5 stable, but not master.
The BMC on the machine in question is an ASpeed AST2600. A quick bisect shows the problematic commit to be 2fb9667 ("drm/ast: report connection status on Display Port."). This is commit f81bb0ac upstream.
I believe the problem is that the previous commit in the series e329cb5 ("drm/ast: Add BMC virtual connector") was not backported to the stable branch. As a consequence, it appears that the more accurate DP state detection is causing the kernel to believe that no display is connected, even when the BMC's virtual display is in fact in use. A cherry-pick of e329cb5 onto the stable branch resolves the issue.
Cheers, Keno
