[Why & How]
This fixes kernel errors when IGT disables primary planes during the
tests kms_universal_plane::functional_test_pipe/pageflip_test_pipe.
NAK.
This essentially reverts commit b836a274b797 ("drm/amdgpu/dc: Require primary plane
to be enabled whenever the CRTC is") (except that it goes even further and
completely removes the requirement for any HW plane to be enabled when the HW cursor is),
so it would reintroduce the issues described in that commit log.
Actually not exactly the same issues, due to going even further than reverting
my fix.
Instead, the driver will claim that an atomic commit which enables the CRTC and
the cursor plane, while leaving all other KMS planes disabled, succeeds. But
the HW cursor will not actually be visible.
I did not observe problems with cursors (GNOME 42.4 - desktop and
youtube/mpv video playback: windowed/fullscreen). Are there steps to
reproduce cursor problems?
If IGT tests disable the primary plane while leaving the CRTC enabled, those
tests are broken and need to be fixed instead.
There are IGT cursor tests fixed by this:
igt@kms_cursor_legacy@flip-vs-cursor@atomic-transitions
igt@kms_cursor_legacy@flip-vs-cursor@atomic-transitions-varying-size
It also reduces amdgpu workaround in IGT's kms_concurrent:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/499382/?series=107734&rev=1
The change affect multiple IGT tests. Adding amdgpu-specific workarounds
to each of the IGT tests is not an ideal solution. If the cursor
problems can be reproduced, a more specific solution can be developed.
P.S. Per above, this patch should never have made it this far without getting
in touch with me directly.
