Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/radeon: fix internal display on iMac11, 1 (RV770/DCE3.1)
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 11:24:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516092420.3579-2-gilles.risch@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260510185426.4264-1-gilles.risch@gmail.com>
The Apple iMac11,1 (late 2009) has an integrated ATI Mobility Radeon
HD 4850 (RV770/M98L) with a 2560x1440 internal panel connected via an
internal DisplayPort path. This machine suffers from a similar problem
as the iMac10,1 (late 2009) and the iMac11,2 (mid 2010). Without this
fix the display stays dark under KMS. Two issues are addressed:
1. The RV770 implements DCE3.1 and not DCE3.2. ASIC_IS_DCE32() starts at
CHIP_RV730 which is newer than RV770, so the RV770 never matched the
DCE3.2 PLL and encoder logic. Introduce ASIC_IS_DCE31() starting at
CHIP_RV770 to fix this.
2. Apple routed the internal display through Link B of the DIG encoder
instead of Link A, as observed in the kernel display connector log.
The same quirk already exists for iMac10,1 and iMac11,2 - iMac11,1
was simply missing from the list.
Note: resume from suspend still results in a dark screen as the DP
re-driver chips on the mainboard lose their state during power-off.
This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.
Fixes freedesktop issue 164
