It is necessary to track states for objects other than connector, crtc
and plane for atomic modesets. But adding objects like DP MST link
bandwidth to drm_atomic_state would mean that a non-core object will be
modified by the core helper functions for swapping and clearing
it's state. So, lets add void * objects and helper functions that operate
on void * types to keep these objects and states private to the core.
Drivers can then implement specific functions to swap and clear states.
The other advantage having just void * for these objects in
drm_atomic_state is that objects of different types can be managed in the
same state array.
v7: Use __for_each_private_obj to define for_each_private_obj (Maarten)
v6: More kernel-doc to keep 0-day happy
v5: Remove more NULL checks (Maarten)
v4: Avoid redundant NULL checks when private_objs array is empty (Maarten)
v3: Macro alignment (Chris)
v2: Added docs and new iterator to filter private objects (Daniel)
