    drm/nouveau: Switch DDC when reading the EDID · 39c1c901
    Lukas Wunner authored
    The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller
    to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS
    is notoriously bogus on these machines.
    
    Use drm_get_edid_switcheroo() in lieu of drm_get_edid() on LVDS
    if the vga_switcheroo handler is capable of temporarily switching
    the panel's DDC lines to the discrete GPU. This allows us to retrieve
    the EDID if the panel is currently muxed to the integrated GPU.
    Likewise, ask vga_switcheroo to switch DDC before probing LVDS
    connectors.
    
    This only enables EDID probing on the pre-retina MBP (2008 - 2013).
    The retina MBP (2012 - present) uses eDP and gmux is not capable of
    switching AUX separately from the main link on these models.
    This will be addressed in later patches.
    
    List of pre-retina MBPs with dual GPUs, either or both Nvidia:
        [MBP  5,1 2008  nvidia MCP79 + G96        pre-retina  15"]
        [MBP  5,2 2009  nvidia MCP79 + G96        pre-retina  17"]
        [MBP  5,3 2009  nvidia MCP79 + G96        pre-retina  15"]
        [MBP  6,2 2010  intel ILK + nvidia GT216  pre-retina  15"]
        [MBP  6,1 2010  intel ILK + nvidia GT216  pre-retina  17"]
        [MBP  9,1 2012  intel IVB + nvidia GK107  pre-retina  15"]
    
    v3: Commit newly added due to introduction of drm_get_edid_switcheroo()
        wrapper which drivers need to opt-in to.
    
    v5: Rebase on "vga_switcheroo: Add handler flags infrastructure",
        i.e. call drm_get_edid_switcheroo() only if the handler
        indicates that DDC is switchable.
