[Intel-gfx] [RFC PATCH v2 0/3] i915 writeback private framework

[Kandpal, Suraj]

Hi All,
Gentle Reminder.
++Uma

Regards
Suraj Kandapal

> A patch series was floated in the drm mailing list which aimed to change the
> drm_connector and drm_encoder fields to pointer in the
> drm_connector_writeback structure, this received a huge pushback from the
> community but since i915 expects each connector present in the drm_device
> list to be a intel_connector but drm_writeback framework forces us to use a
> drm_connector which is not embedded in intel_connector the current
> drm_writeback framework becomes very unfeasible to us as it would mean a
> lot of checks at a lot of places to take into account the above issue. One of
> the solutions is to make our own writeback pipeline bypassing one provided
> by drm which is what these patches do.
> 
> -----
> Version 2:
> adding fixes to avoid regression in previous gen and some basic checkpatch
> changes.
