BUG: MTK DRM/HDMI broken on 5.13 (mt7623/bpi-r2)

[Frank Wunderlich]

Hi,

i've noticed that HDMI is broken at least on my board (Bananapi-r2,mt7623) on 5.13.

after some research i noticed that it is working till

commit 2e477391522354e763aa62ee3e281c1ad9e8eb1b

    drm/mediatek: Don't support hdmi connector creation


which is the last of mtk-drm-next-5.13 [1] so i guess a problem with core-patches

dmesg shows the following:

so i guess the breaking commit may be this:

$ git logone -S"drm_crtc_commit_wait" -- drivers/gpu/drm/
b99c2c95412c 2021-01-11 drm: Introduce a drm_crtc_commit_wait helper

in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic{,_helper}.c

but i cannot confirm it because my git bisect does strange things (after defining 5.13 as bad and the 2e4773915223 as good, second step is before the good commit till the end, last steps are 5.11...). sorry, i'm still new to bisect.

the fix is targeting to 5.12-rc2, is guess because CK Hu's tree is based on this...but the fix was not included in 5.12-rc2 (only after 5.12.0...got it by merging 5.12.14)

maybe you can help me?
