This is a WIP version of the series I've been working on for a while now to get all of the atomic DRM drivers in the tree to use the atomic MST helpers, and to make the atomic MST helpers actually idempotent. Turns out it's a lot more difficult to do that without also fixing how port and branch device refcounting works so that it actually makes sense, since the current upstream implementation requires a ton of magic in the atomic helpers to work around properly and in many situations just plain doesn't work as intended.
This patch series is starting to get bigger, and since there's still a few bits here and there regarding the new refcount implementation that I haven't quite decided on yet I figured I should get an opinion from everyone else. Currently I've got a couple of thoughts on how I could improve this further: * Get rid of drm_dp_mst_get_*_validated() entirely - I'm 90% sure that with the new refcounting scheme we might not actually need port validation at all anymore, assuming we make the use of malloc references in all of the DRM drivers. Either way, I don't think validation was ever actually a concept that worked: without malloc references, the port or branch device that's being passed to drm_dp_mst_get_*_validated() could be freed which also in turn means that that the stale pointer could in theory have gotten reused for a new port and thus-cause us to consider a freed port validated. * Get rid of drm_dp_mst_get_vcpi_slots() - with malloc references, I don't think there's any use for this either * Get rid of drm_dp_mst_reset_vcpi_slots() - I think the only time this function ever made sense was with port validation? Honestly, I wonder if we ever needed this at all... Note: I haven't applied some of the comments from the reviews for the series this is based off of: drm/dp_mst: Improve VCPI helpers, use in nouveau https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/51414/ This is just getting put on the ML so I can get some feedback on this.
