[PATCH] efi_loader: allow to disable GOP support

Sometimes EFI GOP support may be not wanted (e.g. because the operating system cannot operate well with it) even if video support in U-Boot is needed.
Allow to disable EFI GOP support with a Kconfig option.

I'm trying RK3399 with Linux. EFIFB never works as intended (maybe it's because IOMMU is reconfigured), and rockchipdrmfb will be fb1 (leave non-working EFIFB as fb0), makes fbcon unusable.
The second problem has a proposed fix, but the first problem is mystery.

The GOP driver is not available after ExitBootServices. You can't use it after the EFI stub hands over to main Linux.
Shouldn't the Panfrost driver and Mesa be used for RK3399? https://wiki.debian.org/PanfrostLima , https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2019/08/06/rockpi-panfrost-wayl...

The GOP driver is not available after ExitBootServices. You can't use it after the EFI stub hands over to main Linux.
I think Linux will remember a FB address before ExitBootServices, and continue to use it then.

Well, you made a common error that thinks on embedded systems GPUs are responsible for display. It's not, for display (not 3D rendering) rockchipdrm is the driver.

It's due to bugs in Linux, it will be fixed in 5.14 with these patches from our Fedora testing: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-May/306803.html
There's also this enhancement, also should land in 5.14, which is dependent on the feature that's in the second link:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-May/306803.html https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-April/303291.html
With that first patch it mostly works for me, the second two series improves on that some more.

I think this patch should get backported.
I have no problems with that so feel free to propose it to the stable kernels.
BTW a point of using EFI boot is to support existing distros, which won't have this patch.
Sure, but UEFI doesn't guarantee there aren't bugs in kernels or firmware though, it certainly makes things more straight forward but it's no silver bullet.
There's also this enhancement, also should land in 5.14, which is dependent on the feature that's in the second link:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-May/306803.html https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-April/303291.html
With that first patch it mostly works for me, the second two series improves on that some more.

The second problem has a proposed fix, but the first problem is mystery.

It's due to bugs in Linux, it will be fixed in 5.14 with these patches from our Fedora testing:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-May/306803.html
I think this patch should get backported.
I have no problems with that so feel free to propose it to the stable kernels.
BTW a point of using EFI boot is to support existing distros, which won't have this patch.

https://passthroughpo.st/explaining-csm-efifboff-setting-boot-gpu-manually/ refers to a Linux command line parameter that could be used:

I think that figured out the mystery for your second problem too (if I understood what you meant correctly).
The problem is that u-boot initializes the display controller and provides the setup framebuffer memory to the kernel as a GOP. But then the kernel re-initializes the HW again and mess with the resources needed by the display controller that were correctly setup by u-boot. Part of that is the IOMMU as you said, but also the clocks and power domains that Linux will disable because are "unused".
So to have a GOP framebuffer that will be available until the rockchip DRM fb emulation takes over (with the patch mentioned by Peter), you will need the following kernel command line options:
initcall_blacklist=rk_iommu_init clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused
