[Bug 1944397] Re: HDMI does not display anything with Impish RPi desktop image

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-raspi/5.11.0-1021.22
kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and
update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the
tag 'verification-needed-hirsute' to 'verification-done-hirsute'. If the
problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-hirsute' to
'verification-failed-hirsute'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The desktop does not come up and the screen stays blank when using
  'dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d' on a Pi 4 (as is the case in raspi desktop
  images). If the desktop does come up, playing video freezes the
  desktop and/or the system. The kernel log shows loads of WARNINGs and
  potentially firmware errors.

  [ Test Case ]

  Use a raspi desktop image, play video (youtube or VLC), move windows
  around, switch to and from fullscreen video playback.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The fixes are all local to the VC4 driver so (new) issues should only
  show up when that driver is in use. Potential problems are UI freezes,
  kernel stalls and crashes.

  [ Original Description ]

  Workaround
  ----------
  With media which you will boot off of change the line dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d in /system-boot/config.txt

  Original Description
  --------------------
  Have a HDMI display w/o audio hooked up to this RPI4B.

  With the latest kernel update the screen does not turn on due to this.
