treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversions

2026-09-05T04:37:00+00:00

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci

This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.

Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

drm/amd/display: Fix ABM over VABC

2026-08-06T16:43:32+00:00

[Why]
ABM does not take effect when brightness
is below twenty percent on VABC LCD panels.

[How]
Create new VESA aux path for brightness
translation functions. When VESA aux enabled
use zero-anchored linear interpolation to
translate instead of the legacy min max
backlight mapping.

drm/amd/display: Fix seamless mode switch not triggering for HDR to SDR transition

2026-08-06T13:58:41+00:00

[Why]
The seamless mode switch was not getting triggered during HDR to SDR
transitions, and no DPCD write was observed. Root cause analysis
revealed that incorrect panel capabilities were being reported for PSR
SU panels. Due to the wrong capabilities, the OS was not invoking the
seamless mode switch API, resulting in no DPCD communication and also
gated eDP teardown across the seamless mode switch hold.

[How]
Fixed by setting the correct power panel capabilities for PSR SU panels.
This ensures the OS receives accurate panel capability information and
triggers the seamless mode switch API as expected, restoring proper
DPCD writes during HDR to SDR transitions.
The DC commit sequence was tearing the eDP down anyway -- backlight off,
ABM disable, DPMS off, PSR/Replay enable state cleared, PHY TX off,
OTG/OPTC off; all these actions are blocked now with the
skip_implict_edp_power_control

drm/amd/display: Remove redundant NULL check before kfree() in mod_power_create()

2026-07-15T13:15:43+00:00

kfree() safely handles NULL pointers, so there is no need to check for
NULL before calling kfree().

Remove redundant NULL check.

Found by Coccinelle ifnullfree script.

drm/amd/display: Fix VABC Init and OLED Support

2026-07-15T13:15:39+00:00

[Why]
TCONs supporting VESA AUX Backlight does not always
support VESA Smooth Brightness. Driver software
needs to implement smooth brightness by periodically
updating the brightness by small steps. Driver
implementation is completed and verified on LCD
panels but solution is missing for OLED panels.

[How]
Updated driver to include smooth brightness for
OLED panels using VESA Aux Backlight.
Revert original workaround for VABC on oled issue,
as it is no longer needed.
Add VABC backlight Initialization sequence from
driver side.
Add fix to remove conflict between FW and driver
backlight programming for future ASIC.
Enable VABC for all future asic revisions.

drm/amd/display: Enable CACP on Linux

2026-07-14T23:12:34+00:00

[Why]
Enable OLED panels to save more power on the Linux platform by
enabling CACP support on Linux.

[How]
Update abm_feature_support() to return ABM_CACP_SUPPORT for OLED
panels. Enable ABM property for all eDP panels including OLED to
support CACP via set_abm_level.

drm/amd/display: Replace repeated no-native-i2c checks with force_i2c_over_aux field

2026-07-01T15:31:10+00:00

[Why]
The compound condition checking dp_connector_no_native_i2c
and no_ddc_pin was duplicated across many files, obscuring
intent at every call site.

[How]
Add bool force_i2c_over_aux to struct dc_link, initialized
once during link creation. Add link_get_ddc_aux_inst()
helper to select the correct aux instance. Wire into
link_service via construct_link_service_ddc(). Replace all
duplicated condition checks and aux instance selection
blocks with the new field and helper. No functional change.

drm/amd/display: Integrate power_helpers.c functionality into power.c.

2026-07-01T15:16:13+00:00

[Why]
Reduces file fragmentation in the power module by consolidating
power_helpers.c . The helper file contained minimal
functionality (single utility function and shared includes) that
didn't warrant a separate compilation unit, leading to increased
build complexity and maintenance overhead.

[How]
Consolidated power_helpers.c content into the internal module
implementation. Moved macro outside
platform-specific conditional block for wider availability.
