Tell us why first. Why this patch is necesary is the fundamental reason
that we need to record in the changelog. Discuss the background and the
motivation that leads us to require a kernel patch.

So you say. Examples are vital, especially if you make a claim as
towards performance. And then to back those up with tests to make sure
nothing is broken. The other question is how do we end up regularly
flipping between pixel formats that it shows up in a performance
benchmark.

You don't need to repeat the patch, just tell us what complications you
encountered and how you resolved them, or what issues remain.

Bleh.

Just install a default set_pixelformat that returns -EINVAL and lose the
i++; /* increment i after reading */

Also the current use of crtc->funcs->set_pixelformat suggests confusion
is paramount.

What happens if the flip fails afterwards? Where's the unwind? Where's
the protection that prevents the format change whilst the current
scanout is still visible? Perhaps this being the ring emission is being
attempted far too early.

Interesting choice of ring.

The first rule of adding code is to be consistent with the surrounding
code.

We do expect code to at least bear some resemblence to the CODING_STYLE.

Also this techinique does not look to be haswell specific, and with some
rearrangement could be written much more neatly.
