[ Upstream commit 3126c9ccb4373d8758733c6699ba5ab93dbe5c9d ]
This reverts commit 2681bf4ae8d24df950138b8c9ea9c271cd62e414.
This results in a blank screen on the HDMI port on some systems. Revert for now so as not to regress 6.18, can be addressed in 6.19 once the issue is root caused.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Now I have a complete understanding of the issue. Let me summarize my analysis:
## Comprehensive Analysis
### 1. Commit Message Analysis
This is a **revert** of commit `2681bf4ae8d24df950138b8c9ea9c271cd62e414` that moved `setup_stream_attribute()` from `link_set_dpms_on()` to individual `enable_stream()` functions. The commit clearly states: - The change "results in a blank screen on the HDMI port on some systems" - Includes a bug report link: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4652 - Explicitly intended to "not regress 6.18" - Cherry-picked from upstream with maintainer sign-off
### 2. Critical Finding: Buggy Commit Already Backported
**The original problematic commit (`7965cb360655`) was already backported to stable trees** (as shown by `[ Upstream commit ... ]` and Sasha Levin's signature). This means **stable users are currently affected by this regression** and need the fix.
### 3. Technical Root Cause
The original commit attempted to fix a symclk RCO clock gating issue by moving `setup_stream_attribute()` later in the sequence, after clock ungating in `enable_stream()`. However:
- **For DP (DisplayPort)**: This ordering works because DP needs symclk ungated first - **For HDMI/TMDS**: The stream attributes must be set earlier, specifically before VPG power-on and infoframe construction in `link_set_dpms_on()`
The code at line 3055 in `dcn20_hwseq.c` shows where the call was moved: ```c link_hwss->setup_stream_attribute(pipe_ctx); ```
This call happens too late for HDMI paths, causing blank screens because the HDMI signal initialization sequence depends on attributes being programmed before the display pipe is fully enabled.
### 4. Code Change Assessment
The revert is small and surgical: - **5 files changed** - Removes `link_hwss->setup_stream_attribute()` from 3 hwseq files (dce110, dcn20, dcn401) - Restores the call in `link_dpms.c` at the correct position (after `set_out_mux()`, before VPG power-on) - Removes unused LVDS stub from virtual_stream_encoder.c
### 5. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
| Criteria | Assessment | |----------|------------| | Fixes a real bug affecting users | ✅ Blank HDMI screen - severe user- visible regression | | Obviously correct | ✅ Simple revert to known-working code | | Small and contained | ✅ ~20 lines removed, ~5 lines added | | No new features | ✅ Pure regression fix | | Bug exists in stable | ✅ Original buggy commit was backported |
### 6. Risk Assessment
- **Regression risk: LOW** - This reverts to previously known-working behavior that was stable for years - **Trade-off**: The original symclk RCO issue will remain unfixed, but: - RCO issue affects a narrow DP corner case - Blank HDMI affects common consumer hardware - A blank screen is a far worse failure than the clock gating issue - **Testing**: Upstream maintainer sign-off (Alex Deucher) and cherry- picked from mainline
### 7. User Impact
- **Severity: CRITICAL** - Complete display failure on HDMI - **Scope: HIGH** - HDMI is ubiquitous; affects multiple hardware generations (dce110, dcn20, dcn401) - **Real users affected**: Bug report confirms actual user impact
### Conclusion
This commit is an **ideal stable backport candidate**: 1. The regression-causing commit was already backported to stable trees, so stable users are currently broken 2. It fixes a critical user-visible bug (blank HDMI displays) 3. The fix is a simple, safe revert to known-good code 4. It has proper upstream maintainer approval 5. The risk of the revert causing problems is minimal (returning to proven behavior)
The revert is **mandatory** for any stable tree that includes commit `7965cb360655` to restore working HDMI functionality.

[ Upstream commit d041e5e748f926398ad96436a86667dea8b591e0 ]
My laptop, HP ProBook 450 G8 (32M40EA), has Realtek ALC236 codec on its integrated sound card, and uses GPIO pins 0x2 and 0x1 for speaker mute and mic mute LEDs correspondingly, as found out by me through hda-verb invocations. This matches the GPIO masks used by the alc236_fixup_hp_gpio_led() function.
PCI subsystem vendor and device IDs happen to be 0x103c and 0x8a75, which has not been covered in the ALC2xx driver code yet.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
### Summary of Investigation
**Type of Change:** Hardware quirk/device ID addition - a single line adding PCI subsystem ID 0x103c:0x8a75 to the quirk table.
**Technical Details:** - The `alc236_fixup_hp_gpio_led()` function (lines 1320-1324) is a simple wrapper that sets GPIO masks 0x02 and 0x01 for mute/mic-mute LEDs - This fixup is **already used by 40+ other HP laptop entries** in the same table - HP ProBook 450 G8 already has one entry at device ID 0x87e7 using the same fixup - this adds another variant (0x8a75) of the same laptop - The adjacent device ID 0x8a74 ("HP ProBook 440 G8") also uses this same fixup
**Stable Kernel Rules Compliance:**
1. **Obviously correct:** ✓ Single line addition follows a well- established pattern used by dozens of other entries 2. **Fixes real bug:** ✓ Enables mute/mic-mute LED functionality on user's actual hardware (verified via `hda-verb`) 3. **Small and contained:** ✓ One line, one file 4. **No new features:** ✓ Uses existing fixup infrastructure 5. **Exception category:** ✓ **Explicitly allowed** - Device ID/quirk additions are called out as permitted exceptions in stable rules
**User Impact:** - Without this quirk, HP ProBook 450 G8 (0x8a75 variant) users have non- functional mute indicator LEDs - Affects a real user who tested and verified the fix on actual hardware - Common business laptop used in enterprise environments
**Risk Assessment:** - **Regression risk: Negligible** - Only affects devices with exactly the subsystem ID 0x103c:0x8a75 - The fixup function is mature, well-tested across many devices - Cannot affect any other hardware - No logic changes, no API changes
**Dependencies:** - `ALC236_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_LED` and the underlying `alc_fixup_hp_gpio_led()` function already exist in all maintained stable kernels - No other patches required - Should apply cleanly to stable trees
### Conclusion
This commit is a **textbook example** of a hardware quirk addition that stable kernel rules explicitly permit. It: - Adds a single PCI device ID to enable hardware support on a specific laptop variant - Uses existing, well-tested driver infrastructure (40+ other HP laptops use the same fixup) - Has been verified by the reporter on actual hardware - Has zero regression risk for anyone not using this specific laptop model - Has been reviewed and accepted by the sound maintainer (Takashi Iwai)
This matches the stable rules documentation: "NEW DEVICE IDs (Very Common): Adding PCI IDs, USB IDs, ACPI IDs, etc. to existing drivers. These are trivial one-line additions that enable hardware support."

[ Upstream commit be4c9abdf04b86bb33f4a2ce59fd7cb64a739c51 ]
The laptop uses ALC287 chip (as shown in /proc/asound/card1/codec#0). It seems that every HP pavilion laptop in the table uses the same quirk, so I just copied them. I have verified that the mute LED on my laptop works with this patch.
For reference, here's the alsa-info of my laptop: https://alsa-project.org/db/?f=2d5f297087708610bc01816ab12052abdd4a17c0

## Analysis of Commit: ALSA: hda/realtek: add quirk for HP pavilion aero laptop 13z-be200
### 1. Commit Message Analysis
**Problem:** The mute LED does not function on the HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13z-be200 with ALC287 audio codec.
**Solution:** Adds a PCI quirk entry to enable the mute LED using an existing fixup mechanism.
**Tags:** - No "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag - No "Fixes:" tag - Signed-off by Takashi Iwai (ALSA/Sound subsystem maintainer at SUSE) - Author verified the fix works on the actual hardware - Includes alsa-info diagnostic link for validation
### 2. Code Change Analysis
The change adds a single line to the `alc269_fixup_tbl[]` quirk table:
```c SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x103c, 0x8bd6, "HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13z-be200", ALC287_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_LED), ```
**Scope:** - 1 line added - 1 file changed (sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c) - Uses existing `ALC287_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_LED` fixup mechanism - No new code introduced - only a table entry
**Technical Mechanism:** The `ALC287_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_LED` fixup maps to `alc287_fixup_hp_gpio_led` which calls `alc_fixup_hp_gpio_led(codec, action, 0x10, 0)` to configure GPIO for proper mute LED behavior. This is a well-established, thoroughly tested code path used by many HP laptops.
**Code Context:** Looking at the diff, the table currently jumps from 0x8bd4 to 0x8bdd, leaving 0x8bd6 unsupported. The new entry fills this gap. The surrounding entries show this is a standard pattern - there are hundreds of similar HP quirk entries (vendor ID 0x103c) in this table, including other HP Pavilion Aero models like "HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13-be0xxx" that use the same fixup.
### 3. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
This commit falls under **two explicit exception categories** documented in stable kernel rules:
1. **NEW DEVICE IDs:** Adding PCI IDs to existing drivers - trivial one- line additions that enable hardware support 2. **QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS:** Hardware-specific quirks for broken/buggy devices
**Checklist:** - ✅ Obviously correct: Trivial table entry using existing, proven infrastructure - ✅ Fixes real bug: Mute LED doesn't work without this quirk - ✅ Small and contained: Single line change - ✅ No new features: Reuses existing fixup mechanism - ✅ No new APIs: Data-only change - ✅ Applies cleanly: Simple table entry addition
### 4. Risk Assessment
**Regression Risk:** Essentially zero - The quirk is scoped to a specific PCI subsystem vendor/device ID (0x103c:0x8bd6) - Only affects this exact hardware model - Cannot impact any other systems
**Benefit:** Direct hardware functionality fix - Users with this laptop get a working mute LED - Without the fix, the mute LED is non-functional
### 5. User Impact
**Affected Users:** Owners of HP Pavilion Aero 13z-be200 laptops **Severity:** Medium - broken hardware functionality **Real-world Impact:** The mute LED provides important user feedback, particularly for video conferencing scenarios where knowing microphone state is critical
### 6. Historical Context
This follows an extremely well-established pattern: - The Realtek HDA driver contains hundreds of similar quirk entries - Similar HP Pavilion Aero quirk additions have been made for other model variants - This type of quirk addition is routinely accepted for stable trees
### Conclusion
This is a textbook example of a hardware quirk addition that is explicitly allowed by stable kernel rules. It: - Fixes real, user-facing hardware functionality (mute LED) - Is trivial (one line) - Uses existing, well-tested infrastructure - Has zero risk of affecting other hardware - Has been verified by the hardware owner - Was accepted by the sound subsystem maintainer
Even without an explicit "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag, device ID and quirk additions are routinely backported because they fix real user- facing hardware issues with essentially zero regression risk. The risk/benefit ratio overwhelmingly favors inclusion in stable trees.
