Ok I wanted to merge this, but found one more nit. The new
->atomic_async_commit/check hooks are imo driver interface functions (you
call the from the core drm_atomic.c), but you put the hooks into the
helper vtables. Can you pls move them into drm_plane_funcs instead?
The only reason this worked is because I accidentally left a
drm_plane_helper.h include in drm_atomic.c which shouldn't be there ...
Otherwise looks all good, and with that fix has my
