[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Add support to change pixel format, tiling mode, tiling offset.

Hi Ville,

Thanks for the information. Here MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM is used and not MI_LOAD_REGISTER_MEM. Is SRM needed after MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM? BSpec for MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM  does not mention any thing about using SRM, but it is there for MI_LOAD_REGISTER_MEM. 

Regards,
Sandeep

"store register mem". It reads the register and stores the result to memory.

BSpec tells us that there can only be one outstanding LRI targeted at the display registers at any given. So you need to do LRI+SRM for every display register you want to write w/ LRI.

Also updating multiple plane registers isn't always atomic, so we anyway need the vblank evade tricks to make it look pretty. I suppose it might be possible to make all that work via the ring, but my plan is to go for MMIO, and later investigate if we can optimize it by using the ring.
