Move drm_fb_helper_unprepare() from drm_fb_helper_fini() into the
calling fbdev implementation. Avoids a possible stale mutex with
generic fbdev code.

As indicated by its name, drm_fb_helper_prepare() prepares struct
drm_fb_helper before setting up the fbdev support with a call to
drm_fb_helper_init(). In legacy fbdev emulation, this happens next
to each other. If successful, drm_fb_helper_fini() later tear down
the fbdev device and also unprepare via drm_fb_helper_unprepare().

Generic fbdev emulation prepares struct drm_fb_helper immediately
after allocating the instance. It only calls drm_fb_helper_init()
as part of processing a hotplug event. If the hotplug-handling fails,
it runs drm_fb_helper_fini(). This unprepares the fb-helper instance
and the next hotplug event runs on stale data.

Solve this by moving drm_fb_helper_unprepare() from drm_fb_helper_fini()
into the fbdev implementations. Call it right before freeing the
fb-helper instance.

This reminds me of an old patch I just recently stumbled over again:

https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/Y3St2VHJ7jEmcNFw@phenom.ffwll.local/

Should I resurrect that one maybe and send it out? I think that also ties
a bit into your story here.

I think it would be good to update the kerneldoc of _init() and _fini()
here to mention each another like we usually do with these pairs. Same
with prepare/unprepare() although the latter rerfences _prepare() already.

Ok this one tegra change was a bit tricky, drivers really should just use
drmm_/devm_ for everything :-)

With the kerneldoc augmented:

I don't think it will be necessary. I began to convert the existing 
fbdev emulation to make use of drm_client, which should resove a number 
of problems. I expect to post this after the various trees have merged 
the recent changes to fbdev helpers.

Best regards
Thomas

The only version the patch is fixing is the client one, the old one is
unfixable (I think at least, hence just the comments). Note that the link
is pre-splitting, I do have a rebased version here.

I'll just send that out and head into vacations :-)

I think this should be Fixes: 032116bbe152 ("drm/fbdev-generic: Minimize
client unregistering") instead? Because commit 4825797c36da just added a
wrapper function for mutex_destroy(&fb_helper->lock), but it was commit
032116bbe152 that made drm_fbdev_cleanup() to call that helper function.

The change itself looks good to me.

Good point. After looking through the recent fbdev commits, I'll use 
commit 643231b28380 ("drm/fbdev-generic: Minimize hotplug error 
handling") for the tag. This is the one that added the call to 
drm_fb_helper_fini() to the client's hotplug handler. And _fini() 
currently does the _unprepare(), when it shouldn't.

Ah, much better indeed.
