vga_switcheroo: initial implementation (v15)
Many new laptops now come with 2 gpus, one to be used for low power
modes and one for gaming/on-ac applications. These GPUs are typically
wired to the laptop panel and VGA ports via a multiplexer unit which
is controlled via ACPI methods.
4 combinations of systems typically exist - with 2 ACPI methods.
Intel/ATI - Lenovo W500/T500 - use ATPX ACPI method
ATI/ATI - some ASUS - use ATPX ACPI Method
Intel/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method
Nvidia/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method.
TODO:
This patch adds support for the ATPX method and initial bits
for the _DSM methods that need to written by someone with
access to the hardware.
Add a proper non-debugfs interface - need to get some proper
testing first.
v2: add power up/down support for both devices
on W500 puts i915/radeon into D3 and cuts power to radeon.
v3: redo probing methods, no DMI list, drm devices call to
register with switcheroo, it tries to find an ATPX method on
any device and once there is two devices + ATPX it inits the
switcher.
v4: ATPX msg handling using buffers - should work on more machines
v5: rearchitect after more mjg59 discussion - move ATPX handling to
radeon driver.
v6: add file headers + initial nouveau bits (to be filled out).
v7: merge delayed switcher code.
v8: avoid suspend/resume of gpu that is off
v9: rearchitect - mjg59 is always right. - move all ATPX code to
radeon, should allow simpler DSM also proper ATRM handling
v10: add ATRM support for radeon BIOS, add mutex to lock vgasr_priv
v11: fix bug in resuming Intel for 2nd time.
v12: start fixing up nvidia code blindly.
v13: blindly guess at finishing nvidia code
v14: remove radeon audio hacks - fix up intel resume more like upstream
v15: clean up printks + remove unnecessary igd/dis pointers
mount debugfs
/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch - should exist if ATPX detected
+ 2 cards.
DIS - immediate change to discrete
IGD - immediate change to IGD
DDIS - delayed change to discrete
DIGD - delayed change to IGD
ON - turn on not in use
OFF - turn off not in use
Tested on W500 (Intel/ATI) and T500 (Intel/ATI)
