[PATCH v6 04/22] drm/display: scdc_helper: Add HDMI 2.0 scrambling management helpers

Wed May 20 11:38:15 PDT 2026


Add drm_scdc_start_scrambling(), drm_scdc_stop_scrambling() and
drm_scdc_sync_status() helpers to manage the full lifecycle of HDMI 2.0
SCDC scrambling on both source and sink sides.

drm_scdc_start_scrambling() configures SCDC scrambling and high TMDS
clock ratio and starts a periodic work item that monitors the sink's
SCDC scrambling status, retrying setup when the sink loses state.

drm_scdc_stop_scrambling() tears down scrambling on both sides and
cancels the monitoring work.

drm_scdc_sync_status() triggers a CRTC reset on reconnection to restore
SCDC state lost during sink disconnects within an active display
pipeline.
