[PATCH v4] drm: Use USB controller's DMA mask when importing dmabufs

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

> USB devices cannot perform DMA and hence have no dma_mask set in their
> device structure. Therefore importing dmabuf into a USB-based driver
> fails, which breaks joining and mirroring of display in X11.
> 
> For USB devices, pick the associated USB controller as attachment device.
> This allows the DRM import helpers to perform the DMA setup. If the DMA
> controller does not support DMA transfers, we're out of luck and cannot
> import. Our current USB-based DRM drivers don't use DMA, so the actual
> DMA device is not important.
> 
> Drivers should use DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DROVER_OPS_USB to initialize their
> instance of struct drm_driver.
> 
> Tested by joining/mirroring displays of udl and radeon un der
> Gnome/X11.

Thanks for doing this.
