[PATCH v9 1/2] drm/atomic: Let drivers decide which planes to async flip

From: André Almeida
Date: Wed Oct 02 2024 - 17:17:18 EST


Currently, DRM atomic uAPI allows only primary planes to be flipped
asynchronously. However, each driver might be able to perform async
flips in other different plane types. To enable drivers to set their own
restrictions on which type of plane they can or cannot flip, use the
existing atomic_async_check() from struct drm_plane_helper_funcs to
enhance this flexibility, thus allowing different plane types to be able
to do async flips as well.

In order to prevent regressions and such, we keep the current policy: we
skip the driver check for the primary plane, because it is always
allowed to do async flips on it.
