+ *
+ * On pre-retinas, the LVDS outputs of both GPUs feed into gmux which muxes
+ * either of them to the panel. One of the tricks gmux has up its sleeve is
+ * to lengthen the blanking interval of its output during a switch to
+ * synchronize it with the GPU switched to. This allows for a flicker-free
+ * switch that is imperceptible by the user ({5}[US 8,687,007 B2]).
+ *
+ * On retinas, muxing is no longer done by gmux itself, but by a separate
+ * chip which is controlled by gmux. The chip is triple sourced, it is
+ * either an {6}[NXP CBTL06142], {7}[TI HD3SS212] or {8}[Pericom PI3VDP12412].
+ * The panel is driven with eDP instead of LVDS since the pixel clock
+ * required for retina resolution exceeds LVDS' limits.
+ *
+ * Pre-retinas are able to switch the panel's DDC pins separately.
+ * This is handled by a {9}[TI SN74LV4066A] which is controlled by gmux.
+ * The inactive GPU can thus probe the panel's EDID without switching over
+ * the entire panel. Retinas lack this functionality as the chips used for
+ * eDP muxing are incapable of switching the AUX channel separately (see
+ * the linked data sheets, Pericom would be capable but this is unused).
+ * However the retina panel has the NO_AUX_HANDSHAKE_LINK_TRAINING bit set
+ * in its DPCD, allowing the inactive GPU to skip the AUX handshake and
+ * set up the output with link parameters pre-calibrated by the active GPU.
+ *
+ * The external DP port is only fully switchable on the first two unibody
+ * MacBook Pro generations, MBP5 2008/09 and MBP6 2010. This is done by an
+ * {6}[NXP CBTL06141] which is controlled by gmux. It's the predecessor of the
+ * eDP mux on retinas, the difference being support for 2.7 versus 5.4 Gbit/s.
+ *
+ * The following MacBook Pro generations replaced the external DP port with a
+ * combined DP/Thunderbolt port and lost the ability to switch it between GPUs,
+ * connecting it either to the discrete GPU or the Thunderbolt controller.
+ * Oddly enough, while the full port is no longer switchable, AUX and HPD
+ * are still switchable by way of an {10}[NXP CBTL03062] (on pre-retinas
+ * MBP8 2011 and MBP9 2012) or two {11}[TI TS3DS10224] (on retinas) under the
+ * control of gmux. Since the integrated GPU is missing the main link,
+ * external displays appear to it as phantoms which fail to link-train.
+ *
+ * gmux receives the HPD signal of all display connectors and sends an
+ * interrupt on hotplug. On generations which cannot switch external ports,
+ * the discrete GPU can then be woken to drive the newly connected display.
+ * The ability to switch AUX on these generations could be used to improve
+ * reliability of hotplug detection by having the integrated GPU poll the
+ * ports while the discrete GPU is asleep, but currently we do not make use
+ * of this feature.
+ *
+ * gmux' initial switch state on bootup is user configurable via the EFI
+ * variable `gpu-power-prefs-fa4ce28d-b62f-4c99-9cc3-6815686e30f9` (5th byte,
+ * 1 = IGD, 0 = DIS). Based on this setting, the EFI firmware tells gmux to
+ * switch the panel and the external DP connector and allocates a framebuffer
+ * for the selected GPU.
