[PATCH v2 4/4] drm/msm/a5xx: workaround early ring-buffer emptiness check

[Vladimir Lypak]

There is another cause for soft lock-up of GPU in empty ring-buffer:
race between GPU executing last commands and CPU checking ring for
emptiness. On GPU side IRQ for retire is triggered by CACHE_FLUSH_TS
event and RPTR shadow (which is used to check ring emptiness) is updated
a bit later from CP_CONTEXT_SWITCH_YIELD. Thus if GPU is executing its
last commands slow enough or we check that ring too fast we will miss a
chance to trigger switch to lower priority ring because current ring isn't
empty just yet. This can escalate to lock-up situation described in
previous patch.
To work-around this issue we keep track of last submit sequence number
for each ring and compare it with one written to memptrs from GPU during
execution of CACHE_FLUSH_TS event.
