Thanks, I think I'll go with the 'window' terminology then.

I have looked into this, but this seems to be quite a detour.

If I understand atomic sequencing correctly, then we always have:
(1) atomic_begin()
(2) calls to update_plane() and disable_plane()
(3) atomic_flush()

We already get all the necessary information through the calls in step
(2), so I don't see the need to query this information again from DRM
core in step (3). Especially since this means iterating over lists again.

In particular drm_atomic_crtc_for_each_plane() does list_for_each_entry
calling drm_plane_index() in each step, which in turn iterates over the
list of planes again.

I rather put another unsigned long into the mixer context and walk a
normal array in mixer_cfg_layer(). :-)


With best wishes,
Tobias
