Subject: [PATCH] drm/probe-helper: honour connector->force in drm_helper_probe_detect()
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 17:20:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526152025.12530-2-pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de> (raw)

With `video=DP-2:d drm.debug=0x04` the connectors are correctly forced
off at init time:

    [9.742468] [drm] forcing DP-2 connector off

but `intel_dp_detect()` is still called immediately after:

    [9.908738] [drm:intel_dp_detect] [CONNECTOR:130:DP-2]
    [9.912982] [drm:intel_hotplug_detect_connector] [CONNECTOR:130:DP-2] status updated from unknown to unknown (epoch counter 0->1)

`drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes()` already short-circuits when
`connector->force` is set, returning the forced status without calling
any detect callbacks.  `drm_helper_probe_detect()` however has no such
guard, so callers that go through it directly – such as i915's
`intel_hotplug_detect_connector()` – still run the full hardware probe
(AUX DPCD read, GMBus DDC transaction, …) even when the user has
forced a connector off via the `video=` command-line parameter.

Add the same connector->force check at the top of
`drm_helper_probe_detect()`, so that the hardware probe is skipped
regardless of the entry point.  This makes `video=<connector>:d`
effective at boot time, not just for userspace `GETCONNECTOR` ioctls.

This is tested on a Dell XPS 13 9360 (Intel Kaby Lake-U GT2 [HD Graphics
620] [8086:5916]). With `video=DP-2:d drm.debug=0x04`, Linux logs:

    [   11.701243] [drm] forcing DP-2 connector off
    [   11.701245] [drm:drm_connector_init_only [drm]] cmdline mode for connector DP-2  0x0@60Hz
    […]
    [   12.102009] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:drm_helper_probe_detect [drm_kms_helper]] [CONNECTOR:130:DP-2] force=1, skipping detect
