<content type='text'>
Callers of of_drm_find_panel() and drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge()
receive a pointer with no reference held, creating a window where
the panel device can be unregistered and freed between the lookup
and first use (e.g., drm_panel_prepare()).

Fix the lookup function by acquiring a reference with drm_panel_get()
before returning, under panel_lock. Callers are now responsible for
calling drm_panel_put() when they no longer need the pointer.

For bridge drivers that immediately wrap the panel in a panel_bridge
(which acquires its own reference), release the lookup reference right
after the bridge creation call.

For analogix-anx6345, which stores the panel for direct use, release
the reference in the i2c remove path.

For platform drivers using analogix_dp_core with a component lifecycle
(exynos_dp, rockchip analogix_dp), release the lookup reference in the
platform remove() function. The panel_bridge created during bind() holds
a separate reference that devm cleanup releases after remove() returns.

Also fix devm_drm_of_get_bridge() and drmm_of_get_bridge() in
bridge/panel.c itself, update a second batch of drivers calling
of_drm_find_panel() or drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() to release the
lookup reference after wrapping the panel in a bridge, and handle the
cases where a panel is found but cannot be used, dropping the reference
immediately in those paths.

<title>drm: Rename struct drm_atomic_state to drm_atomic_commit</title>

<id>5164f7e7ff8ec7d41065d3862630c2ba09854328</id>
<content type='text'>
The KMS framework uses two slightly different definitions for the state
concept. For a given object (plane, CRTC, encoder, etc., so
drm_$OBJECT_state), the state is the entire state of that object.
However, at the device level, drm_atomic_state refers to a state update
for a limited number of objects.

Thus, drm_atomic_state isn't the entire device state, but only the full
state of some objects in that device. This has been an endless source of
confusion and thus bugs.

We can rename the drm_atomic_state structure to drm_atomic_commit to
make it less confusing.

This patch was created using:

rg -l drm_atomic_state | \
	xargs sed -i 's/drm_atomic_state/drm_atomic_commit/g; s/drm_atomic_commit_helper/drm_atomic_state_helper/g'

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The ingenic driver relies on two drm_private_objs, that are initialized
by allocating and initializing a state, and then passing it to
drm_private_obj_init.

Since we're gradually moving away from that pattern to the more
established one relying on a atomic_create_state implementation, let's
migrate this instance to the new pattern.
