[RFC][PATCH 1/2] drm/probe-helper: Add mode_valid check to drm_crtc_helper_funcs

[John Stultz]

Currently, on the hikey board, we have the adv7511 bridge wired
up to the kirin ade drm driver. Unfortunately, the kirin ade
core cannot generate accurate byteclocks for all pixel clock
values.

Thus if a mode clock is selected that we cannot calculate a
matching byteclock, the device will boot with a blank screen.

Unfortunately, currently the only place we can properly check
potential modes for this issue in the connector mode_valid
helper. Again, hikey uses the adv7511 bridge, which is shared
between a number of different devices, so its improper to put
restrictions caused by the kirin drm driver in the adv7511
logic.

So this patch tries to correct for that, by adding some
infrastructure so that the drm_crtc_helper_funcs can optionally
implement a mode_valid check, so that the probe helpers can
check to make sure there are not any restrictions at the crtc
level as well.
