By adjusting the order of link training and relocating it to
HPD,
link training can identify the usability of each lane in the
current link.

It also supports handling signal instability and weakness due
to
environmental issues, enabling the acquisition of a stable
bandwidth
for the current link. Subsequently, DP work can proceed based
on
the actual maximum bandwidth.

It should training in the hpd event thread.
Check the mode with lane count and link rate of training.

If we're eDP and capabilities were already parsed we can skip
reading again because eDP panels aren't hotpluggable hence the
caps and training information won't ever change in a boot life

Therefore, bridge typec judgment is required for edp training
in
atomic_enable function.

The `mtk_dp_aux_panel_poweron` function fails to align.
Within the `mtk_dp_hpd_event_thread`, if DP is disconnected,
the `mtk_dp_aux_panel_poweron` function will write from `aux`
to
`DPRX`,
causing a failure and thus preventing symmetry.
I'm curious about another case.
In your description, when DP plug out and plug in, DRM core would
not
call mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable(), right?
If so, when I plug out DP, and plug in another DP panel which
support
smaller resolution,
then mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable() is not called and below call
sequence would not happen:

mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable() -> mtk_dp_video_enable() ->
mtk_dp_set_tx_out() -> mtk_dp_setup_tu()

In mtk_dp_setup_tu, it would set sram_read_start according to
lane_count.
But the call sequence would not happen when new plug in, the
sram_read_start would be old value which may incorrect.
If think that when plug in and plug out, it should disable DP and
then enable DP again.
If DRM core does not do this, I think we should modify DRM core
or
you should reconfig the whole DP when plug in, not only training.

Hi CK

When DP plug out, DRM core will call
mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_disable().
When DP plug in, DRM core will call mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable().

When DP plug in, DRM core will call mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable(),
and mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable would call mtk_dp_training().
So it's not necessary to call mtk_dp_training() in
mtk_dp_hpd_event_thread().

Hi CK.

This shows the current timings after the DP cable is plugged in,
as well as the modified timings.

current timings:		Fix timings:

mtk_dp_hpd_event_thread()	mtk_dp_hpd_event_thread()
				(including DP link training) 
	|				|
       ...			       ...
mtk_dp_bridge_mode_valid()	mtk_dp_bridge_mode_valid()
	|
       ...			       ...
mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_check()	mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_check()
	|
       ...			       ...
mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable()	mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_enable()
(including DP link training)


PS:
1. "..." represents ommited steps;

2. `mtk_dp_bridge_mode_valid()` calculates the bandwidth using the
current lane count and link rate, and then filters each mode to
determine if it supports returning a status.

3. In the `drm_display_mode_to_videomode(&crtc_state->adjusted_mode,
&mtk_dp->info.vm);` function, within the `mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_check()`
function, `adjusted_mode` sets the currently selected display mode for
the DRM.

4. DP link training tests the signal conditions of the link between
DPTX and DPRX, and selects the lane count and link rate that meet
the signal conditions.

5. For example, the platform support DP 4lane 5.4G,
but panel A support DP 2lane 5.4G.

   This is a time sequence:

   a).Plug in panel A. According to the platform, it can output 4K
   60Hz.
   b). Timing mode set 4K 60Hz(Including in mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_check
   function).
   c). Atomic enable(Based on panel A ability, training pass 2lane
   5.4G).
   d). Finally, due to 2lane 5.4G bandwidth limitation, the platform
   cannot output 4K 60Hz, resulting in a black sreen.

   If apply this patch.

   a). Plug in panel A.
   b). Training pass 2lane 5.4G
   c). Timing mode set 2K 60Hz(Based on the 2lane 5.4G bandwidth limit
   and including in mtk_dp_bridge_atomic_check function).
   d). Atomic enable for output screen.
The original commit message does not show WHY need to training in hotplug thread.
This explain shows WHY need to training in hotplug thread.
So replace the commit message with this explain.

CK

If DP plug in, sram_read_start will be recalculate based on the
lane
count.
