[PATCH RFC v6 00/10] Support for Solid Fill Planes

[Jessica Zhang]

Some drivers support hardware that have optimizations for solid fill
planes. This series aims to expose these capabilities to userspace as
some compositors have a solid fill flag (ex. SOLID_COLOR in the Android
hardware composer HAL) that can be set by apps like the Android Gears
app.

In order to expose this capability to userspace, this series will:

- Introduce solid_fill and pixel_source properties to allow userspace to
  toggle between FB and solid fill sources
- Loosen NULL FB checks within the DRM atomic commit callstack to allow
  for NULL FB when solid fill is enabled.
- Add NULL FB checks in methods where FB was previously assumed to be
  non-NULL
- Have MSM DPU driver use drm_plane_state.solid_fill instead of
  dpu_plane_state.color_fill

Note: The solid fill planes feature depends on both the solid_fill *and*
pixel_source properties.

To use this feature, userspace can set the solid_fill property to a blob
containing the appropriate version number and solid fill color (in
RGB323232 format) and and setting the pixel_source property to
DRM_PLANE_PIXEL_SOURCE_COLOR. This will disable memory fetch and the
resulting plane will display the color specified by the solid_fill blob.

Currently, there's only one version of the solid_fill blob property.
However if other drivers want to support a similar feature, but require
more than just the solid fill color, they can extend this feature by
creating additional versions of the drm_solid_fill struct.

This 2 property approach was chosen because passing in a special 1x1 FB
with the necessary color information would have unecessary overhead that
does not reflect the behavior of the solid fill feature. In addition,
assigning the solid fill blob to FB_ID would require loosening some core
drm_property checks that might cause unwanted side effects elsewhere.
