Bug Description

[Impact]

 * This confuses end users. They think that this is a relevant message instead of an
   unimportant accident to the eDP

[Test Case]

 * Use an eDP haswell system
 * See this message in dmesg

[Regression Potential]

 * Low. This patch just skips a port check on eDP machines
 * It has already been tested on eDP machines

[Other Info]

 * private bug 1097143

[Original message]

eDP on haswell graphics puts some stuff in dmsg that is scary to users. Worse, these messages are displayed on suspend/resume, and because we don't have vt-switchless resume support in ubuntu yet, when the graphics don't work it seems like these messages are the culprit.

Dmesg:
[11577.928164] [drm:intel_dp_set_link_train] *ERROR* Timed out waiting for DP idle patterns
[11577.928167] [drm:i915_write32] *ERROR* Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 64040

GDM can't show and screen freeze after screen saver and turn off backlight command("gnome-screensaver-command -l;sleep 3;xset dpms force off")
But, if you press Ctrl+Alt+F3(tty3) then press Ctrl+Alt+F2(tty0), GDM will show.

Dmesg:
[11577.928164] [drm:intel_dp_set_link_train] *ERROR* Timed out waiting for DP idle patterns
[11577.928167] [drm:i915_write32] *ERROR* Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 64040

Expected output: it enter to screensaver and turn off backlight, then press any key to resume system, it should shows GDM.

This only happens on Haswell chipset, but it is OK on Ivybridge.

Hi Tammy,

Would you test that we no longer get the error messages with the -proposed kernel in quantal. Thank you very much.

This is not true. I have this bug on 12.04:

So I guess the raring kernel also.

I see this message in syslog after I try to log out to switch user, and the screen freezes (goes black and responsive) and ctrl+alt+fn1 is needed. Does this message really have nothing to do with the "crash" then?

When this happens, I have to press the Alt key in order to return to the graphic display. Please help me. Thanks in advance!
