[PATCH v3 0/8] Adding driver-private objects to atomic state

Link bandwidth is a shared resource between multiple displays in DP MST
configurations. For atomic modesetting drivers, checking if there is
sufficient link bandwidth for a mode needs to be done during the
atomic_check phase to avoid failed modesets when multiple CRTC's and
connectors are involved.

Managing shared resources like DP MST link bandwidth in the driver's
subclassed atomic_state will result in duplicating the code in each atomic
modesetting driver. But adding objects like DP MST link bandwidth to the
DRM core's drm_atomic_state would mean that an object that is not a core
modesetting object like connector, CRTC or a plane will be modified by the
helper functions for swapping and clearing state. So, this series
introduces void * type driver-private objects in drm_atomic_state and adds
helper functions that operate on these private objects. Drivers can then
implement object-specific functions to swap and clear states.
The advantage of having void * for these objects in drm_atomic_state is
that objects of different types can be managed in the same state array.

This version
	1) splits and squashes patches
	2) adds documentation
	3) fixes vcpi slot accounting logic for suspend-resume and
	connector switching

Dhinakaran Pandiyan (8):
  drm/dp: Kill total_pbn and total_slots in struct
    drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr
  drm/dp: Kill unused MST vcpi slot availability tracking
  drm/dp: Split drm_dp_mst_allocate_vcpi
  drm: Add driver-private objects to atomic state
  drm/dp: Introduce MST topology state to track available link bandwidth
  drm/dp: Add DP MST helpers to atomically find and release vcpi slots
  drm: Connector helper function to release resources
  drm/dp: Track MST link bandwidth
