This patch adds drm_panic support for hyperv-drm driver. This function
works but it's still needed to brush up. Let me hear your opinions.

Once kernel panic occurs we expect to see a panic screen. However, to
see the screen, I need to close/re-open the graphic console client
window. As the panic screen shows correctly in the small preview
window in Hyper-V manager and debugfs API for drm_panic works correctly,
I think kernel needs to send signal to Hyper-V host that the console
client refreshes, but I have no idea what kind of signal is needed.

This patch is tested on Hyper-V 2022.

drm/hyperv: Add support for drm_panic

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_simple_kms_helper.c | 26 +++++++++++++
drivers/gpu/drm/hyperv/hyperv_drm_modeset.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++
include/drm/drm_simple_kms_helper.h | 22 +++++++++++
No changes to simple_kms_helper please. This is obsolete and should go
away. Just put everything into hyperv_drm.
OK. Maybe it will work without any modification in simple_kms_helper if we can
call the pipe->funcs from draw_panic_plane() like drm_plane_helper_funcs.

No problem about that. Feel free to open-code everything that you need in the hyperv driver.


Currently, the hyperv_drm is implemented with a simple display pipeline.
The pipeline control functions are in pipe->funcs and they will call via
drm_simple_kms_palne_helper_funcs. And these helper functions will
be called by drm_panic_plane().

Someone should update the hyperv driver to not use simple pipe.
