After scheduling a flip for obj, we are supposed to invalidate the
drrs.

Action:
    Adding a call to intel_edp_drrs_invalidate at
    intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare.

Ok, looks correct. This invalidate will be paired with a flush after the
flip completes to reschedule the downclock of the refresh rates.

I think a comment would be useful to explain the relationship here, or
better would be a new intel_edp_drrs_flip_prepare() stub so that the
internal details of drrs are kept out of intel_frontbuffer.c and the
comment can refer to the adjacent functions for reference.

But in flip preparation we would want to invalidate the PSR (software 
implementation) also.
In that case we could create a function called 
intel_frontbuffer_flip_invalidate() instead of edp_drrs_flip_prepare.
This will be invoking the invalidation for the PSR and DRRS. And this 
function could be called from
intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare().

Incase If FBC invalidate also needed at flip preparation, then we could 
create a common function called
intel_frontbuffer_invalidate parallel to intel_frontbuffer_flush which 
will be used by
intel_fb_obj_invalidate and intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare.

Please share your view. whether FBC invalidate is required on flip 
preparation?

It is (intel_disable_fbc is being directly by the flip code).

I would stick to calling it intel_frontbuffer_flip_prepare/flip_complete
to distinguish it from invalidate/flush - they are not equivalent in all
cases. And I would push that naming convention down to the backends.
Given that we have 3 (almost 4) users of this, we may want to move this
over to a notifier system and have the backends register themselves
rather than continually adapting intel_frontbuffer.c to the requirements
of different backends. Task for a rainy day.

Nope. The problem here is that drrs wants business, but the frontbuffer
tracking only gives you coherency signals (flush/invalidate). But for
business both flush and invalidate indicate that there's something going
on on the screen. Which means you _must_ uplock the display in both
drrs_flush and drrs_invalidate.

By applaying the upclocking only to the flip codepath you're only papering
over this bug in one specific case, but not for all the other paths where
frontbuffer rendering is possible.

Sorry for late response. I was away for longer.

Daniel,

As we have the intel_frontbuffer_flush, I have created the 
intel_frontbuffer_invalidate.
This can be called from flip preparation notification to handle the 
frontbuffer invalidation.
I will share the patches now.
