drm: Add atomic/plane helpers
This is the first cut of atomic helper code. As-is it's only useful to
implement a pure atomic interface for plane updates.
Later patches will integrate this with the crtc helpers so that full
atomic updates are possible. We also need a pile of helpers to aid
drivers in transitioning from the legacy world to the shiny new atomic
age. Finally we need helpers to implement legacy ioctls on top of the
atomic interface.
The design of the overall helpers<->driver interaction is fairly
simple, but has an unfortunate large interface:
- We have ->atomic_check callbacks for crtcs and planes. The idea is
that connectors don't need any checking, and if they do they can
adjust the relevant crtc driver-private state. So no connector hooks
should be needed. Also the crtc helpers integration will do the
->best_encoder checks, so no need for that.
- Framebuffer pinning needs to be done before we can commit to the hw
state. This is especially important for async updates where we must
pin all buffers before returning to userspace, so that really only
hw failures can happen in the asynchronous worker.
Hence we add ->prepare_fb and ->cleanup_fb hooks for this resources
management.
- The actual atomic plane commit can't fail (except hw woes), so has
void return type. It has three stages:
1. Prepare all affected crtcs with crtc->atomic_begin. Drivers can
use this to unset the GO bit or similar latches to prevent plane
updates.
2. Update plane state by looping over all changed planes and calling
plane->atomic_update. Presuming the hardware is sane and has GO
bits drivers can simply bash the state into the hardware in this
function. Other drivers might use this to precompute hw state for
the final step.
3. Finally latch the update for the next vblank with
crtc->atomic_flush. Note that this function doesn't need to wait
for the vblank to happen even for the synchronous case.
v2: Clear drm_<obj>_state->state to NULL when swapping in state.
v3: Add TODO that we don't short-circuit plane updates for now. Likely
no one will care.
v4: Squash in a bit of polish that somehow landed in the wrong (later)
patche.
v5: Integrate atomic functions into the drm docbook and fixup the
kerneldoc.
v6: Fixup fixup patch squashing fumble.
v7: Don't touch the legacy plane state plane->fb and plane->crtc. This
is only used by the legacy ioctl code in the drm core, and that code
already takes care of updating the pointers in all relevant cases.
This is in stark contrast to connector->encoder->crtc links on the
modeset side, which we still need to set since the core doesn't touch
them.
Also some more kerneldoc polish.
v8: Drop outdated comment.
v9: Handle the state->state pointer correctly: Only clearing the
->state pointer when assigning the state to the kms object isn't good
enough. We also need to re-link the swapped out state into the
drm_atomic_state structure.
v10: Shuffle the misplaced docbook template hunk around that Sean spotted.
