Hi Thomas,

Couple of fly-by ideas/suggestions.

Unrelated:
This feels quite dirty. If AST1180 does not support atomic modeset
simply remove the DRIVER_ATOMIC bit.
You can do that at runtime, via drm_device::driver_features in say,
ast_detect_chip()?

The drm_driver::driver_features is immutable, or it ought to be.

I cannot think of a reason why a driver would need to perform
crtc_atomic_check, if the crtc is being disabled.
Can you spot any? If not, this should be better served in core, which
calls this callback.
Correct?
