[RFC 0/3] drm: page-flip with damage

[Lukasz Spintzyk]

Hi,

Many thanks that you have picked it up.
Unfortunately I didn't had time to work on it for a while.

I am ok with what you have done, ihmo the review is going in good direction.
I will try not to miss your update of it.
 From my side I can say that damage rects with frame-buffer coordinates 
are perfectly fine for DisplayLink case.

Btw I have noticed that there is also a patch from Rob Clark that is 
supplying helper for legacy dirtyfb callback.
Maybe we should unify the naming of the rects. Here we have 
"damage_clips", Clark's patch has 'dirty_rects' notion.
On other hand existing legacy dirtyfb callback in drm_framebuffer_funcs 
is also using 'clip_rects' :).


Thanks

Łukasz Spintzyk
