[PATCH v2 00/18] Introduce DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for struct fb_ops

Hi,

this is the second version of the refactoring work suggested by Daniel Vetter
in the email:

   https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-July/113237.html

The define DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS provides the drm_fb_helper default
implementations for functions in struct fb_ops. A drm driver can use it like:

    static struct fb_ops drm_fbdev_cma_ops = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS,
        /* driver specific implementations */
    };

The first patch that adds the helper define was already accepted into the
kernel release candidate v4.9-rc1.

For the new stuff:

Implementing fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave callbacks is not without
pitfalls. It was necessary that driver also implements the mode_set_base_atomic
callback in struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs. Otherwise it may segfaults. The first
patch in this series changes that and introduces a check for it.  Now functions
drm_fb_helper_debug_(enter|leave) can be used without implementing callback
mode_set_base_atomic. At least the drm drivers armada, ast, qxl, udl and virtio
are affected by this issue. It seems that the code path was never executed for
these drivers and nobody noticed.

Refactoring patches for ast, cirrus and mgag200 are dropped.  I leave it to
Daniel if additional drivers should not be converted.

This series is based on tag v4.9-rc1 and applies cleanly onto drm-next, too.

Kind regards,
	Stefan Christ


Changes in v2:
- add patch 'fix segfaults in drm_fb_helper_debug_*'.
  So functions drm_fb_helper_debug_(enter|leave) can be used
  unconditionally.
- add patch 'add fb_debug_* to DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS' that
  uses drm_fb_helper_debug_(enter|leave) to implement
  fb_debug_(enter|leave). It depends on the previous patch
  to avoid regressions.
- Drop patches for drm drivers 'ast', 'cirrus' and 'mgag200'
  since they reimplemented most of the fb_ops callbacks anyway.
- Also remove fb_debug_(enter|leave) callbacks in fb_ops all
  refactoring patches.
