From 9ebd8202393dde9d3678c9ec162c1aa63ba17eac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dhinakaran Pandiyan Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2018 13:57:30 -0700 Subject: drm/i915/dp: Fix link retraining comment in intel_dp_long_pulse() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Comment claims link needs to be retrained because the connected sink raised a long pulse to indicate link loss. If the sink did so, intel_dp_hotplug() would have handled link retraining. Looking at the logs in Bugzilla referenced in commit '3cf71bc9904d ("drm/i915: Re-apply Perform link quality check, unconditionally during long pulse"")', the issue is that the sink does not trigger an interrupt. What we want is ->detect() from user space to check link status and retrain. Ville's review for the original patch also indicates the same root cause. So, rewrite the comment. v2: Patch split and rewrote comment.
