[resend,00/15] staging: vboxvideo: Convert to atomic modesetting API

Message

Hi All,

This series converts the vboxvideo driver to the modesetting API, once this
is merged I will submit a patch to move the driver out of staging and into
drivers/gpu/drm.

This series consists of 3 parts:

1) More cleanups / prep work for atomic conversion
2) The actual atomic conversion, this is modelled after the atomic conversion
   of the qxl driver done by Gabriel Krisman Bertazi. Gabriel if you are
   reading this, thank you for providing a roadmap how to go about this.
3) Restore some features which were lost by the atomic conversion +
   more cleanups

Regards,

Hans

Why are you resending this?  It's because you added some more patches
on the end?  Just send those as a new series...

I accidentally numbered the cover-letter of the original series
01/15 instea dof 00/15 this confused Greg, so he asked for a resend.

Nothing is changed in the resend, otherwise I would have made
the series a v2 and not a resend.

Regards,

Hans

I'm assuming this all lands for 4.20/5.0, since I've just merged the
series to nuke the transitional helpers for good for 2.21/5.1. Worst case
we just need to pull this in as a topic branch, based on a sufficiently
old-enough kernel.

Cheers, Daniel

Yes Greg has the entire series queued up in staging-next.
