We don't use the TINYDRM_ prefix any longer. Just call it DRM_PIXPAPER.

Please don't declare those functions. Interleave the implementation with 
the structs that use them.

For example, these functions should be implemented  right before 
declaring the global variable; same goes for the others.

This function should eventually time out.

Please use DRM's error reporting. dev_err() becomes drm_err(), dev_dbg() 
becomes drm_dbg().  Further below is WARN_ON(), which should become 
drm_WARN_ON().  Here and everwhere else in the driver.  The only 
exception is in places where you don't have a DRM device yet, sch as 
early device probing.

This error handling isn't working. Your code OR's multiple errno codes 
and the result will have a different meaning.

The easiest way to avoid excessive error checking is to add an error 
context as final parameter, like this

struct pixpaper_error_ctx {
     int errno_code;
};

pixpaper_spi_sync(..., pixpaper_error_ctx *err) { if (err->errno_code) 
return; ret = spi_sync(...) if (ret) err->errno_code = ret; }

send_cmd(..., pix_error_ctx *err)
{
         pixppaper_spi_sync(..., err);
}


send_data(..., pix_error_ctx *err)
{
         pixppaper_spi_sync(..., err);
}

int my_pixpaper_driver_func()
{
     sturct pixpaper_error_ctx = {}

     send_cmd(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);

     send_cmd(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);
     send_data(..., &err);

     if (err->errno_code)
         return errno_code

     return 0;
}

This pushes error handling down into the call tree and you only have to 
test for the final result.

> +	if (ret)
> +		goto init_fail;
> +	pixpaper_wait_busy(panel);

And you can extend other functions, such as pixpaper_wait_busy(), with 
the error context. Integrates them with the rest of the I/O code.

There are *a lot* of magic values in this function. Please document the 
meaning of these.

Never print this type of status messages. If nothing exceptional 
happens, you driver should be quite. At most, use drm_dbg() here.

Error messages are OK, but don't include the function name.

Instead of semi-manual upcast, please write a helper that upcasts from 
struct drm_device

struct pixpaper_panel *to_pixpaper_panel(struct drm_device *drm)
{
     return container_of(drm, struct pixpaper_panel, drm);
}

and call it with the CRTC's device

         to_pixpaper_panel(crtc->dev);

Same here. The driver should just be quite.

Do you really need a full hardware init for an atomic_enable? You should 
rather do this during device probing.

Remove all these info statements please. At most, they should be drm_dbg().

That driver does quite a bit of waiting. Is that really necessary or in 
case?

You're updating the full display AFAICT. That's not optimal, but OK if 
the hardware can't do better.

Is there a specific reason why you need GEM DMA? Since you're hardware 
doesn't use DMA, GEM SHMEM might be a better choice.

Since the driver always updates the full display anyway, you don't need 
to enable damage clipping.

ENCODER_DAC is for VGA connectors. Rather use ENCODER_NONE here.

This signals to DRM that the hardware device has been removed. You 
should put drm_dev_enter() and drm_dev_exit() to the top and bottom of 
each of the DRM callbacks. The driver will then not try to access the 
device.
