Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0863/1039] drm/bridge: analogix_dp: Make PSR-exit block less

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@...omium.org>

commit c4c6ef229593366ab593d4d424addc7025b54a76 upstream.

Prior to commit 6c836d965bad ("drm/rockchip: Use the helpers for PSR"),
"PSR exit" used non-blocking analogix_dp_send_psr_spd(). The refactor
started using the blocking variant, for a variety of reasons -- quoting
Sean Paul's potentially-faulty memory:

"""
 - To avoid racing a subsequent PSR entry (if exit takes a long time)
 - To avoid racing disable/modeset
 - We're not displaying new content while exiting PSR anyways, so there
   is minimal utility in allowing frames to be submitted
 - We're lying to userspace telling them frames are on the screen when
   we're just dropping them on the floor
"""

However, I'm finding that this blocking transition is causing upwards of
60+ ms of unneeded latency on PSR-exit, to the point that initial cursor
movements when leaving PSR are unbearably jumpy.

It turns out that we need to meet in the middle somewhere: Sean is right
that we were "lying to userspace" with a non-blocking PSR-exit, but the
new blocking behavior is also waiting too long:

According to the eDP specification, the sink device must support PSR
entry transitions from both state 4 (ACTIVE_RESYNC) and state 0
(INACTIVE). It also states that in ACTIVE_RESYNC, "the Sink device must
display the incoming active frames from the Source device with no
visible glitches and/or artifacts."

Thus, for our purposes, we only need to wait for ACTIVE_RESYNC before
moving on; we are ready to display video, and subsequent PSR-entry is
safe.

Tested on a Samsung Chromebook Plus (i.e., Rockchip RK3399 Gru Kevin),
where this saves about 60ms of latency, for PSR-exit that used to
take about 80ms.
