Hi Daniel

Thanks for your comments and explanations. I replied in-line and look forward to more discussion.

To expand a bit on this. There is currently a helper for total damage,
but it's at the fb/plane level for drivers which need to upload
buffers (usb/spi or virtual) drm_atomic_helper_damage_merged(). That
one probably needs to be renamed to signify it's about the plane, and
then we need a new drm_atomic_helper_crtc_damage_merged() which
(extract from i915 code ideally) which computes total crtc damage for
stuff like psr2/su or the command mode dsi panels (unfortunately none
of the drivers for android for these panels have been upstreamed yet).

<<<
Checked the DRM comment for the helper `drm_atomic_helper_damage_merged()` and
quoted below:
*****
Drivers might want to use the helper functions drm_atomic_helper_damage_iter_init()
and drm_atomic_helper_damage_iter_next() or drm_atomic_helper_damage_merged()
if the driver can only handle a single damage region at most.
*****
Currently for amdgpu, the multiple damage clips combination (merging) is handled in
DMUB firmware. And the DRM comment shows that the usage of "damage_merged()"
helper is for the driver which can only handle single damage region at most.

Since AMDGPU is capable of handling multiple damaged clip (in DMUB FW), can I
understand that the group of helpers of `damage_merged()` in DRM is not mandatory
but optional?



I also think that the split between dc and kms is a bit funny, I'd put
only the resulting damage rect into dc_pipe and do the computation of
that in the drm/kms linux code outside of dc functions (or in the glue
code for dc), since I'm assuming on windows it's completely different
approach in how you compute damage. Especially once we have the crtc
damage helper on linux.

The current implementation to mark the entire MPO as dirt RECT is not the final
version. Our next step is to implement the translation of DRM damaged clips to
DC regions and pass to let DMUB FW to handle, which is able to handle at most
3 damaged regions for each DC surface.



Yeah so that one was just another reason to use the helpers more in
amdgpu for this.
