Boris Brezillion needs the gem lru fixes 379e8f1ca5e9 ("drm/gem: Make
the GEM LRU lock part of drm_device") backmerged for drm-misc-next.
That also means we need to sort out the rename conflict in panthor with
the fixup patch from Boris from drm-tip.

<title>drm/bridge: imx8qxp-pxl2dpi: avoid ERR_PTR with device_node cleanup</title>

imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() returns ERR_PTR()
on errors. imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_find_next_bridge() stores its return
value in a __free(device_node) variable before checking IS_ERR().
When the function returns on the error path, the cleanup action calls
of_node_put() on the ERR_PTR() value.

Do not let a device_node cleanup variable hold error pointers. Change
imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() to return an int and pass
the endpoint node through an output argument. Initialize the output
argument to NULL so callers hold either NULL on error paths or a valid
device_node pointer on successful path.

<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:

	xargs sed -i 's/drm_atomic_state/drm_atomic_commit/g; s/drm_atomic_commit_helper/drm_atomic_state_helper/g'

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx one of many drivers based on dw-hdmi. dw-hdmi in turn
can operate in two different modes, depending on the platform data as set
by the driver:

 A. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 0:
    the HDMI output (port@1) in device tree is not used [0]

 B. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 1:
    the HDMI output (port@1) is parsed to find the next bridge

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx driver falls in case A. Switching to case B, which is
the current best practice, requires that the HDMI connector is always
described in the live device tree, and a previous commit ensured this is
always the case by adding an overlay in case the device tree does not
comply.

So now we can simply switch to the new mode and support
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR.

Describing the HDMI connector in device tree is recommended. While the
overlay insertion is a workaround to avoid breaking existing devices, every
dts should be improved by adding a connector description.

Add a warning to make users aware as far as possible.

As a warning line cannot hold all the relevant info, add a detailed comment
in the code so it easy to find when the warning is seen.

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx is one of many drivers based on dw-hdmi. dw-hdmi in turn
can operate in two different modes, depending on the platform data as set
by the driver:

 A. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 0:
    the HDMI output (port@1) in device tree is not used [0]

 B. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 1:
    the HDMI output (port@1) is parsed to find the next bridge

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx driver falls in case A. This implies next_bridge will
always be NULL, and so dw_hdmi_bridge_attach() [1] will always fail if
called with the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag.

In fact case A assumes that DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is not set and
in that case it adds an HDMI Type A connector programmatically at bridge
attach time.

Support for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is implemented by dw-hdmi.c in
case B. However switching to base B requires that port@1 is connected to a
"next bridge" DT node, typically the HDMI connector, because dw-hdmi won't
add the connector when using DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR.

Many dts files for imx8mp-based boards in the kernel have such a connector
described and linked to port@1, so the pipeline will be fully attached up
to a display-connector and a drm_connector added by the
bridge-connector. Sadly some of those dts files don't have the connector
described. Adding it would solve the problem easily, but this would break
existing devices which do not update the dtb when upgrading to a newer
kernel.

In preparation for switching to case B while preserving backward
compatibility for such devices, introduce a module adding the
hdmi-connector node to the live device tree at init time. This will allow
the dw-hdmi code to find the next bridge (the one wrapping the
hdmi-connector) and let the pipeline work as before.

The module is inserted only if there is no endpoint in port@1. So boards
whose device tree describe the connector will not have the device tre
modified, and will start isntantiating the correct HDMI connector type as
described in the device tree.

For boards lacking a connector description in DT the overlay will be added,
abd the HDMI connector will be Type A, which is a reasonable fallback and
is what the driver is currently doing.

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx is one of many drivers based on dw-hdmi. dw-hdmi in turn
can operate in two different modes, depending on the platform data as set
by the driver:

 A. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 0:
    the HDMI output (port@1) in device tree is not used [0]

 B. hdmi-&gt;plat_data-&gt;output_port = 1:
    the HDMI output (port@1) is parsed to find the next bridge

The imx8mp-hdmi-tx driver falls in case A. This implies next_bridge will
always be NULL, and so dw_hdmi_bridge_attach() [1] will always fail if
called with the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag.

In fact case A assumes that DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is not set and
in that case it adds an HDMI Type A connector programmatically at bridge
attach time.

Support for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is implemented by dw-hdmi.c in
case B. However switching to base B requires that port@1 is connected to a
"next bridge" DT node, typically the HDMI connector, because dw-hdmi won't
add the connector when using DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR.

Many dts files for imx8mp-based boards in the kernel have such a connector
described and linked to port@1, so the pipeline will be fully attached up
to a display-connector and a drm_connector added by the
bridge-connector. Sadly some of those dts files don't have the connector
described. Adding it would solve the problem easily, but this would break
existing devices which do not update the dtb when upgrading to a newer
kernel.

In preparation for switching to case B while preserving backward
compatibility for such devices, introduce a module adding the
hdmi-connector node to the live device tree at init time. This will allow
the dw-hdmi code to find the next bridge (the one wrapping the
hdmi-connector) and let the pipeline work as before.

The module is inserted only if there is no endpoint in port@1. So boards
whose device tree describe the connector will not have the device tre
modified, and will start isntantiating the correct HDMI connector type as
described in the device tree.

For boards lacking a connector description in DT the overlay will be added,
abd the HDMI connector will be Type A, which is a reasonable fallback and
is what the driver is currently doing.

As suggested by Dmitry, the DRM legacy bridge driver can be pulled
out of imx/ subdir for multi-platform use. The driver is also renamed
to make it more generic and suitable for platforms other than i.MX.

This driver obtains a bridge pointer from of_drm_find_bridge() in the probe
function and stores it until driver removal. of_drm_find_bridge() is
deprecated, so move to of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() for the bridge to be
refcounted and use bridge-&gt;next_bridge to put the reference on
deallocation.

To keep the code as simple and reliable as possible remove the intermediate
next_bridge and selected_bridge variables.

Get/put operations on the remaining pointer is pl-&gt;bridge.next_bridge,
which is tied to the struct imx8qxp_pixel_link lifetime, are:
 - get reference when assigned (by of_drm_find_and_get_bridge())
 - put reference before reassignment if reassignment happens
 - put reference when the struct imx8qxp_pixel_link embedding the
   struct drm_bridge is destroyed (struct drm_bridge::next_bridge)
