Luca Ceresoli 07bcf04980 drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi83: ignore PLL_UNLOCK errors
commit 35e282c186 upstream.

On hardware based on Toradex Verdin AM62 the recovery mechanism added by
commit ad5c6ecef2 ("drm: bridge: ti-sn65dsi83: Add error recovery
mechanism") has been reported [0] to make the display turn on and off and
and the kernel logging "Unexpected link status 0x01".

According to the report, the error recovery mechanism is triggered by the
PLL_UNLOCK error going active. Analysis suggested the board is unable to
provide the correct DSI clock neede by the SN65DSI84, to which the TI
SN65DSI84 reacts by raising the PLL_UNLOCK, while the display still works
apparently without issues.

On other hardware, where all the clocks are within the components
specifications, the PLL_UNLOCK bit does not trigger while the display is in
normal use. It can trigger for e.g. electromagnetic interference, which is
a transient event and exactly the reason why the error recovery mechanism
has been implemented.

Idelly the PLL_UNLOCK bit could be ignored when working out of
specification, but this requires to detect in software whether it triggers
because the device is working out of specification but visually correctly
for the user or for good reasons (e.g. EMI, or even because working out of
specifications but compromising the visual output).

The ongoing analysis as of this writing [1][2] has not yet found a way for
the driver to discriminate among the two cases. So as a temporary measure
mask the PLL_UNLOCK error bit unconditionally.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
