[PATCH 0/6] drm: enforce rules for drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset()

From: Dmitry Baryshkov
Date: Sun Dec 22 2024 - 00:01:00 EST


As pointed out by Simona, the drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset() and
drm_atomic_helper_check() require the former function is rerun if the
driver's callbacks modify crtc_state->mode_changed. MSM is one of the
drivers which failed to follow this requirement.

As suggested by Simona, implement generic code to verify that the
drivers abide to those requirement and rework MSM driver to follow that
restrictions.

There are no dependencies between core and MSM parts, so they can go
separately via corresponding trees.
