[PATCH v10 7/9] drm/msm/dpu1: Carry the mixers over to created CRTC states

From: Maxime Ripard

Date: Thu Nov 12 2026 - 12:33:44 EST


drm_atomic_commit_fill_with_defaults() builds its commits out of
states created through atomic_create_state() instead of duplicating
the current state. A created CRTC state comes with no mixers, while a
duplicated state carries the ones currently assigned, since the
duplication copies the whole state.

dpu_crtc_atomic_check() only goes through dpu_crtc_assign_resources()
when the mode, the connectors or the color management properties
changed, so a CRTC that keeps its configuration with a created state
runs with no mixers at all.

Copy the mixers of the current state over when the new state has
none, like a duplicated state would have carried them. This is a
no-op for duplicated states, which already have them.

Only do so for a CRTC that stays enabled. dpu_crtc_assign_resources()
returns right after dpu_rm_release() for a disabled one, leaving the
mixers it just released behind in the state it was given, and those
must not be handed over to a new state where the consumers that don't
check the CRTC enablement could reach hardware reassigned since.
