Enable GPU switching on the pre-retina MacBook Pro (2008 - 2013), v5. The main obstacle on these machines is that the panel mode in VBIOS is bogus. Fortunately gmux can switch DDC independently from the display, thereby allowing the inactive GPU to probe the panel's EDID. In short, vga_switcheroo and apple-gmux are amended with hooks to switch DDC, DRM core is amended with a

The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS is notoriously bogus on these machines. Use drm_get_edid_switcheroo() in lieu of drm_get_edid() on LVDS if the vga_switcheroo handler is capable of temporarily switching the panel's DDC lines to the discrete GPU. This allows us to retrieve the EDID if the panel

Allow handlers to declare their capabilities and allow clients to obtain that information. So far we have these use cases: * If the handler is able to switch DDC separately, clients need to probe EDID with drm_get_edid_switcheroo(). We should allow them to detect a capable handler to ensure this function only gets called when needed. * Likewise if the handler is unable to switch AUX

So far we've got one condition when DRM drivers need to defer probing on a dual GPU system and it's coded separately into each of the relevant drivers. As suggested by Daniel Vetter, deduplicate that code in the drivers and move it to a new vga_switcheroo helper. This yields better encapsulation of concepts and lets us add further checks in a central place. (The existing check pertains to

gmux is a microcontroller built into dual GPU MacBook Pros. On pre-retina MBPs, if we're the inactive GPU, we need apple-gmux to temporarily switch DDC so that we can probe the panel's EDID. The checks for CONFIG_VGA_ARB and CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO are necessary because if either of them is disabled but gmux is present, the driver would never load, even if we're the active GPU.

Daniel Vetter pointed out that vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() could be needed by audio clients as well. To avoid mistakes when someone adds conditions for these in the future, constrain the single existing condition to VGA clients by checking for PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY. This encompasses both PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA as well as PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D, which is used by some Nvidia Optimus GPUs. Any

Fix Thunderbolt-related issues in apple-gmux and vga_switcheroo: Patch [1/5] ("Recognize Thunderbolt devices") has already been subjected to a fair amount of scrutiny over at linux-pci@, I've submitted it 5 times total since May 2016. With luck it may be in ack-able shape now. Patch [2/5] amends apple-gmux to handle combined DP/Thunderbolt ports properly on newer MacBook Pros.
