[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/3] drm: Add a new connector atomic property for link status

At the time userspace does setcrtc, we've already promised the mode
would work. The promise is based on the theoretical capabilities of
the link, but it's possible we can't reach this in practice. The DP
spec describes how the link should be reduced, but we can't reduce
the link below the requirements of the mode. Black screen follows.
One idea would be to have setcrtc return a failure. However, it
already should not fail as the atomic checks have passed. It would
also conflict with the idea of making setcrtc asynchronous in the
future, returning before the actual mode setting and link training.
Another idea is to train the link "upfront" at hotplug time, before
pruning the mode list, so that we can do the pruning based on
practical not theoretical capabilities. However, the changes for link
training are pretty drastic, all for the sake of error handling and
DP compliance, when the most common happy day scenario is the current
approach of link training at mode setting time, using the optimal
parameters for the mode. It is also not certain all hardware could do
this without the pipe on; not even all our hardware can do this. Some
of this can be solved, but not trivially.
Both of the above ideas also fail to address link degradation *during*
operation.
The solution is to add a new "link-status" connector property in order
to address link training failure in a way that:
a) changes the current happy day scenario as little as possible, to
avoid regressions, b) can be implemented the same way by all drm
drivers, c) is still opt-in for the drivers and userspace, and opting
out doesn't regress the user experience, d) doesn't prevent drivers
from implementing better or alternate approaches, possibly without
userspace involvement. And, of course, handles all the issues presented.
In the usual happy day scenario, this is always "good". If something
fails during or after a mode set, the kernel driver can set the link
status to "bad" and issue a hotplug uevent for userspace to have it
re-check the valid modes through GET_CONNECTOR IOCTL, and try modeset
again. If the theoretical capabilities of the link can't be reached,
the mode list is trimmed based on that.
v4:
* Add comments in kernel-doc format (Daniel Vetter)
* Update the kernel-doc for link-status (Sean Paul)
v3:
* Fixed a build error (Jani Saarinen)
v2:
* Removed connector->link_status (Daniel Vetter)
* Set connector->state->link_status in drm_mode_connector_set_link_status_property
(Daniel Vetter)
* Set the connector_changed flag to true if connector->state->link_status changed.
* Reset link_status to GOOD in update_output_state (Daniel Vetter)
* Never allow userspace to set link status from Good To Bad (Daniel Vetter)
