This is the core of the new modeset logic.
The current code which is based upon the crtc helper code first
updates all the link of the new display pipeline and then calls the
lower-level set_mode function to execute the required callbacks to get
there. The issue with this approach is that for disabling we need to
know the _current_ display pipe state, not the new one.
Hence we need to stage the new state of the display pipe and only
update it once we have disabled the current configuration and before we
start to update the hw registers with the new configuration.
This patch here just prepares the ground by switching the new output
state computation to these staging pointers. To make it clearer,
rename the old update_output_state function to stage_output_state.
A few peculiarities:
- We're also calling the set_mode function at various places to update
properties. Hence after a successfule modeset we need to stage the
current configuration (for otherwise we might fall back again). This
happens automatically because as part of the (successful) modeset we
need to copy the staged state to the real one. But for the hw
readout code we need to make sure that this happens, too.
- Teach the new staged output state computation code the required
smarts to handle the disabling of outputs. The current code handles
this in a special case, but to better handle global modeset changes
covering more than one crtc, we want to do this all in the same
low-level modeset code.
- The actual modeset code is still a bit ugly and wants to know the new
crtc->enabled state a bit early. Follow-on patches will clean that
up, for now we have to apply the staged output configuration early,
outside of the set_mode functions.
- Improve/add comments in stage_output_state.
Essentially all that is left to do now is move the disabling code into
set_mode and then move the staged state update code also into
set_mode, at the right place between disabling things and calling the
mode_set callbacks for the new configuration.
v2: Disabling a crtc works by passing in a NULL mode or fb, userspace
doesn't hand in the list of connectors. We therefore need to detect
this case manually and tear down all the output links.
v3: Properly update the output staging pointers after having read out
the hw state.
v4: Simplify the code, add more DRM_DEBUG_KMS output and check a few
assumptions with WARN_ON. Essentially all things that I've noticed
while debugging issues in other places of the code.
v4: Correctly disable the old set of connectors when enabling an
already enabled crtc on a new set of crtc. Reported by Paulo Zanoni.
