[PATCH] drm: tda998x: mali-dp: hdlcd: refactor connector registration

[PATCH] drm: tda998x: mali-dp: hdlcd: refactor connector registration

[Brian Starkey]

Connectors shouldn't be registered until the rest of the whole device
is set up, so that consistent state is presented to userspace.

As such, remove the calls to drm_connector_register() and
drm_connector_unregister() from tda998x, as these are now handled by
drm_dev_(un)register() itself.

To work with this change, the mali-dp and hdlcd bind and unbind
sequences have to be reordered, to ensure that the componentised
encoder/connector is bound before drm_dev_register() registers all
connectors. Similarly, the device must be unregistered before the
component is unbound.

Altogether, this allows other drivers using tda998x to be
de-midlayered, and to have less racy initialisation of their components.

Splitting this commit into three (one per driver) isn't possible without
intermediate breakage, so it is all squashed together here.

Instead of smashing all these patches into one, what about checking here
for midlayer driver set with:

	/* register here for drivers still using midlayer load/unload */
	if (dev->driver->load)
		drm_connector_register(connector),

Similar in other places. That way we wouldn't need to switch the world in
one patch.

I don't think that helps. If we do that in isolation (first), then
mali-dp and hdlcd won't get their connectors registered because their
bind order is:

	drm_dev_register();
	component_bind_all();

If we change the mali-dp/hdlcd bind order first, then tda998x will
explode on drm_connector_register() until it's patched to remove that.

As I mentioned in my mail to Russell, the only way I can see to avoid
patching all three drivers in one go is:
  1) Add (probably open-coded) drm_connector_register_all() to the end
     of bind in hdlcd and mali-dp
  2) Patch tda998x to remove drm_connector_register()
  3) Reorder hdlcd/mali-dp bind and remove the connector registration
     added in 1)

We can do that, but it's extra churn for the same result, and none of
the 5 patches will really make sense in isolation anyway.

Cheers,
-Brian

I thought there's also armada to take care of, which this patch would
break? Maybe even another driver, so the hack would still be useful
for those other drivers. And it would have been useful if malidp/hdlcd
wouldn't have started out with the wrong init ordering ;-)

OK it seems like this situation has got very confused. In short, this
patch does not break armada. Russell previously tested the tda998x
patch against armada and reported no issues.
Drivers with a ->load() callback don't need to register the connector
anymore, because drm_dev_register() does it for them.

As far as I know, this patch touching these three drivers is
sufficient to allow all current users of tda998x to continue using it,
whilst also allowing armada and tilcdc to be de-midlayered.

Yeah, believe me I know -_-
Hindsight is always 20/20 something something

Ah, makes sense. Should I apply this to drm-misc so it's in a shared tree?

Honestly, I don't know. I didn't entirely follow what it was Russell

Looks like Jyri's series which depends on this is also dependent on
Russell's tree, so might be best to wait for him to get back online.

NO NO NO NO NO.  I've said this several times.  Let's try it again,
and see if it sticks.

Because Armada has not been converted from a mid-layered driver, it
is _IMMUNE_ from any patch removing the drm_connector_register() call
in TDA998x.  It does _NOT_ break in any way.

Only those drivers which are de-mid-layered, and worked around the
drm_connector_register() call inside TDA998x (eg, mali) break, because
of the order in which they are _forced_ to call stuff.

In a de-mid-layered driver, with the drm_connector_register() call in
place in TDA998x, drm_dev_register() _MUST_ be called prior to
component_bind_all(), otherwise you get a WARN_ON() dump from the
kobject code.  With the drm_connector_register() call removed,
drm_dev_register() _MUST_ be called after component_bind_all() so that
the connector is registered.

It's the de-mid-layered drivers which are the problem here, not the
mid-layered ones like Armada.

It's forced into the "wrong init ordering" due to the kobject WARN_ON.

I need the patch against v4.8.  I'm happy to pick it up and add it
to my drm-tda998x-devel branch, which you can then merge into
drm-misc if you wish.

... or if Brian wants to send a git pull request to us with the
patch based on v4.8, we can all merge that instead.

Hm, I entirely missed that part of the troubles. Anyway, if you all agree
on a patch I certainly won't block it, feel free to merge through suitable
trees (or I can smash it into drm-misc if that's wanted).

I think those who are interested in seeing the drm_connector_register()
call disappear from tda998x only care about that happening, but not how
it happens.

We have agreement between myself, Brian and Liviu on this approach, and
I think everyone else is waiting for me to push out the commit so it can
be used as the basis for their work.  I think everyone else is waiting
for me to push something out which gets us past this log-jam.

I don't understand the connectivity between drm-misc and David's drm
tree - so I'm going to let you make the decision on whether to merge
this into drm-misc.  I normally send my pull requests for Armada and
TDA998x changes to David, which means when I send my other TDA998x
changes, the mali/tda998x commit will be included in that pull
request too.  So I'm wondering whether it would make more sense for
me to send it to David instead, or whether I need to send my other
changes through drm-misc instead.  I find the whole drm vs drm-misc
thing rather confusing.

I think we should get this accepted into drm trees before anyone bases
their work on this commit (which is why I've been holding off during
the last week, waiting for DRM folk to get back from Santa Fe and
readjust to the higher atmospheric pressure!)

Anyway, here is my pull request for the mali/hdlcd/tda998x commit which
I'd normally send to David - I don't mind which tree it goes into as
long as things work out nicely.

8<===

David,

Please incorporate the latest TDA998x I2C driver (drm-tda998x-mali
branch), which can be found at:

  git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm.git drm-tda998x-mali

with SHA1 90731c24d2db7ec04df43ddbcee9605183d05187.

This change removes the call to drm_connector_register() which has been
blocking the proper de-midlayer conversion of other DRM drivers.
Unfortunately, hdlcd and mali have intimate dependencies on this change,
which is why these drivers need to be fixed up in the same commit - they
can't be separate commits without these drivers breaking.  All other
DRM drivers which make use of tda998x (to my knowledge - armada, tilcdc)
cope with this change.

This will update the following files:

 drivers/gpu/drm/arm/hdlcd_drv.c   | 19 +++++++++++--------
 drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_drv.c  | 18 +++++++++++-------
 drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/tda998x_drv.c |  8 --------

drm-misc is just the collector for when it doesn't make sense to have a
driver or topic/feature pull request (or there isn't really a permanent
driver tree). Pull to Dave directly makes sense.

[GIT PULL] Re: [PATCH] drm: tda998x: mali-dp: hdlcd: refactor connector registration

[Russell King - ARM Linux]

I guess Dave must have missed this as I can't see it in drm-next, so
I'm resending the pull request.

[Russell King - ARM Linux]

Okay, I've queued this into my own for-next branch, along with the now
reviewed and tested set of tda998x patches that I sent out for comment

I'm still hopeful that Dave's going to pull the initial patch at some
point... please?
