I have been trying to debug the DRM Driver in the 96Boards Kernel.
Using branch hikey970-v4.9
My board has LeUbuntu 16.04 from LeMaker Website loaded on it.
With no changes the display works properly and i have desktop.
If i build the kernel Using branch hikey970-v4.9 then replace
/boot/Image
/boot/hikey907_kirin970.dtb
with the Image and dtb from the build.
The hikey970 boots but the display is blank. It is on / Connected as the backlight is on but there is nothing but a black screen.
If you compare the DMESG Logs between the working kernel ( DISPLAY ) and Non-Working Kernel ( DISPLAY ) I have noted differences that may point to the cause of this issue.
I have uploaded my DMESG Logs to pastebin.
FULL DMESG LOG [ WORKING DISPLAY ]
snippets where there are differences. SNIPPETT
FULL DMESG LOG [ NO DISPLAY ]
snippets where there are differences. SNIPPETT
DMESG-DRM-NOT-Working.log - Pastebin.com
I will try to explain the differences i see that i think are important.
DIFFERENC #1 {dma memory pool}
The working kernel creates a dma memory pool.

So it looks like the DRM initialization is failing on the ADV7511 driver and also no drm_dma_mem_region is being created. There are more differences after this occours but obviously the adv7511 needs corrected. It could be causing the other errors.

The working kernel outputs these lines.

The broken kernel outputs theese lines.

[ 0.810338] [drm:drm_helper_disable_unused_functions] ERROR Called for atomic driver, this is not what you want.
I’m not sure what has caused this difference.
The kernel should not call
drm:drm_helper_disable_unused_functions

Please take a look at the full logs. Especially the areas where i not the differences. It seems probably best to start with the adv7511 as far as debugging goes. I am going to try a few patches and see what happens.
If you can point me in the right direction or help out here i’m sure many of us will appreciate it.
