[alsa-devel] USB Type-C monitor flashes once when play a video file after unplug and re-plug the monitor

Thu Feb 13 04:00:41 CET 2020

This issue we found in kernel 4.19.x, but Ubuntu 19.10 (kernel 5.4.x stable) iss
ue not found. We are chromebook team, so for our product design it shouldn't be
upgraded kernel to 5.4.x, however does it has any chance to fix issue in kernel
4.19.x?

ug log in function haswell_verify_D0 I found my changes cause cvt_nid and nid co
uld get "power state: 1" every single time after re-plug type-c cable then playi
ng music, you can see flash_once_fixed_messages in details. But without my patch
 which nid gets "power state: 0" and external type-c monitor flashes once after
playing music. Assume my finding is right, do we have chance to submit code to f
ix issue? Thanks.

Is the issue reproduced with the latest upstream code (or at least 5.4.y stable)
?
Then yeah, we need to take a deeper look.

thanks,

Takashi
