[PATCH] drm: Add crtc/encoder/bridge->mode_valid() callbacks

2017-05-12 Thread Daniel Vetter
From: Jose Abreu 

This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions
called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the
corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes
that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component
can display all the modes.

We also change the documentation so that the new and old callbacks
are correctly documented.

Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process,
following patches will make use of them.

Changes in v2 from Daniel:
- Update the warning about how modes aren't filtered in atomic_check -
  the heleprs help out a lot more now.
- Consistenly roll out that warning, crtc/encoder's atomic_check
  missed it.
- Sprinkle more links all over the place, so it's easier to see where
  this stuff is used and how the differen hooks are related.
- Note that ->mode_valid is optional everywhere.
- Explain why the connector's mode_valid is special and does _not_ get
  called in atomic_check.

v3: Document what can and cannot be checked in mode_valid a bit better
(Andrjez). Answer: Only allowed to look at the mode, nothing else.

As commented on v2 (but after you sent this patch), I think we need to 
document clearly how mode_valid and mode_fixup should interact. It's very 
confusing for driver authors at the moment.

I have put my concerns here but it touches all mode_valid callbacks.
As the callback can be called in mode probe and atomic check it could
only inspect common set of properties for both contexts, for example
crtc cannot check to which encoder it is connected, am I right?
Maybe it would be good to emphasize it here, as it is emphasized in case
of mode_fixup callbacks.

I tried to do that here, is it not enough? Note that mode_fixup is kinda
deprecated, in favour of atomic_check. So the equivalence is not as
clear-cut as you seem to think.

You can inspect nothing else but the mode here. Looking at anything else
is not allowed since this is the generic check which should work for any
config. Good question, so I'll augment the docs to address this.

This would defeat the purpose of ->get_modes, which is to just grab
the modes from the sink, without filtering for source constraints,
which is done by ->mode_valid. That framework is why we have the probe
helpers, if you want to do something else you can always implement
->fill_modes (which is the uapi entry point) yourself.
