Comment claims link needs to be retrained because the connected sink raised
a long pulse to indicate link loss. If the sink did so,
intel_dp_hotplug() would have handled link retraining. Looking at the
logs in Bugzilla referenced in commit '3cf71bc9904d ("drm/i915: Re-apply
Perform link quality check, unconditionally during long pulse"")', the
issue is that the sink does not trigger an interrupt. We want the
->detect() from user space to check link status and retrain. Ville's
review for the original patch also indicates the same root cause.

I have also renamed long_pulse() to full_detect().

Since intel_dp_detect() doesn't actually do *anything* except skip
detect sometimes, I think "full detect" is a misnomer.

Arguably you could merge intel_dp_long_pulse() into its only caller,
intel_dp_detect(), and do an early return on skipping detect. You have
to look at the functions, and wonder if the current split is the right
one.

Please let others chime in too before making changes.

BR,
Jani.

That's pretty much what I suggested earlier. Although someone should
double check to make sure the detect_done flag even makes sense these
days. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, I don't recall.

Yes I remember digging into the detect_done flag earlier. So the history
of this flag is that it was added when intel_dp_detect() was being called
from multiple places like the hotplug and from userspace through drm_mode_get_connector().
However now that its called only from one place, I believe we do not need the detect_done
flag. And in this case we can just have intel_dp_long_pulse get merged with intel_dp_detect()
and just have all that under the _detect umbrella.

I had mixed feelings when I wrote it, but merging the functions does
sound like a better idea now.

It doesn't afaict. The only place where detect_done gets set to true is
followed by resetting of the flag to false.
