The old state is useful for drivers that need to perform operations at
enable time that depend on the transition between the old and new
states.
While at it, rename the operation to .atomic_enable() to be consistent
with .atomic_disable(), as the .enable() operation is used by atomic
helpers only.

While it is possible to hook other CRTC implementations into imx-drm
in practice there are none yet and the option to disable ipuv3-crtc
support has been hidden for a long time.
Now that the imx-drm-core has learned to deal with some of the
specifics of IPUv3 there is a cyclic dependency between both parts.
To get rid of this and to decimate the Kconfig maze a bit, simply
merge both parts into one module.

The DP (display processor) channel disable code tried to busy wait for
the DP sync flow end interrupt status bit when disabling the partial
plane without a full modeset. That never worked reliably, and it was
disabled completely by the recent "gpu: ipu-v3: remove IRQ dance on DC
channel disable" patch, causing ipu_wait_interrupt to always time out
after 50 ms, which in turn would trigger a timeout in
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.
This patch changes ipu_plane_atomic_disable to only queue a DP channel
register update at the next frame boundary and set a flag, which can be
done without any waiting whatsoever. The imx_drm_atomic_commit_tail then
calls a new ipu_plane_disable_deferred function that does the actual
IDMAC teardown of the planes that are flagged for deferred disabling,
after waiting for the vblank.

With the vblank hooks in struct drm_crtc_funcs, we do not need to
maintain the CRTC specific vblank callbacks with struct
imx_drm_crtc_helper_funcs any more. By moving the stuff that we
currently do in imx_drm_add_crtc(), like of_node setting and
drm_crtc_helper_add()/drm_crtc_init_with_planes() invoking, we can kill
things like struct imx_drm_crtc, imx_drm_crtc_helper_funcs and related
functions completely.
Functions ipu_enable_vblank() and ipu_disable_vblank() are moved around
without changes, only for saving the forward declarations.

If the DC clock is disabled before the attached IDMACs are properly

Make sure the IDMACs are in safe state by disabling the planes before
removal of the DC clock.
Also set the atomic parameter to false to stop calling the atomic_begin
hook, which does nothing useful as we immediately afterwards turn off
vblank interrupts and possibly send the pending vblank event.

Replacing drm_crtc_helper_set_config() by drm_atomic_helper_set_config()

crtc_funcs->mode_set callback as it is no longer used. Also, change
the plane_funcs->update/disable_plane callbacks from the transitional
version to the atomic version. Furthermore, switching to the pure atomic
version of set_config callback means that we may implement CRTC/plane
atomic checks by using the new CRTC/plane states instead of the legacy
ones and we may remove the private ipu_crtc->enabled state which was left
there for the transitional atomic helpers in phase 1. Page flip is also

The component master driver imx-drm-core matches component devices using
their of_node. Since commit 950b410dd1ab ("gpu: ipu-v3: Fix imx-ipuv3-crtc
module autoloading"), the imx-ipuv3-crtc dev->of_node is not set during
probing. Before that, of_node was set and caused an of: modalias to be
used instead of the platform: modalias, which broke module autoloading.
On the other hand, if dev->of_node is not set yet when the imx-ipuv3-crtc
probe function calls component_add, component matching in imx-drm-core
fails. While dev->of_node will be set once the next component tries to
bring up the component master, imx-drm-core component binding will never
succeed if one of the crtc devices is probed last.
Add of_node to the component platform data and match against the
pdata->of_node instead of dev->of_node in imx-drm-core to work around
this problem.

So this one is special, since it tries to prevent races when userspace
crashes simply by disabling the vblank machinery. Well except that imx
always has vblanks enabled, and the disable_vblank hook actually just
tries to cancel a pending pageflip. Without any locking whatsoever. Of
course this is wrong, since it'll result in the hw not actually
displaying what drm thinks is the current frontbuffer.
Well since the core takes care of the disappearing DRM fd now. So we
can nuke all this confused code without ill side-effects.
Someone else needs to audit the locking for ->newfb and
->page_flip_event and fix it up. Common approach is to reuse
dev->event_lock for this.

struct drm_vblank_crtc *vblank = &dev->vblank[crtc];
and
*vblanktime = vblanktimestamp(dev, pipe, cur_vblank);

We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that
has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the
userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many
devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS
entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google

There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been
doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a
MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk
to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or
not, last I checked they were, which was good.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
reported issues"

The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
- convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
- work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
bindings being used
- factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
component framework and drm of_graph helpers.
Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.
