This patchset converts mgag200 to atomic modesetting. It uses simple
KMS helpers and SHMEM.

Patches 1 to 4 simplifies the driver before the conversion. For example,
the HW cursor is not usable with the way universal planes work. A few
data structures can be cleaned up.

Patches 5 to 15 untangle the existing modesetting code into smaller
functions. Specifically, mode setting and plane updates are being
separated from each other.

Patch 16 converts mgag200 to simple KMS helpers and enables atomic
mode setting.

As some HW seems to require a framebuffer offset of 0 within the video
memory, it does not work with atomic modesetting. Atomically switching
plane framebuffers, requires either source or target buffer to be located
at a non-0 offet. To resolve this problem, patch 17 converts mgag200 from
VRAM helpers to SHMEM helpers. During plane updates, the content of the
SHMEM BO is memcpy'd to VRAM. From my subjective obersation, performance
is not nuch different from the original code.

The patchset has been tested on MGA G200EH hardware.

Thomas Zimmermann (17):
  drm/mgag200: Remove HW cursor
  drm/mgag200: Remove unused fields from struct mga_device
  drm/mgag200: Embed connector instance in struct mga_device
  drm/mgag200: Use managed mode-config initialization

  Hi Thomas ,

  I would like to test this on hardware that uses this device integrated 
into as BMC  ( iLo ) that I have ran into problems before. Can you post 
your staging URL so I can clone it ?


( Thank you for CC'ing me. I removed my email from on dlist recently) .

Sure, I'll set something up for you. But it could take until next week.
I promise not to merge the patches before you had a chance to test them.

  Hi

    I may try to apply these patches locally .. It won't be until next 
week though .

I uploaded the patches at


https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tzimmermann/linux/-/tree/mgag200-simplekms-20200504

You can clone them with

  git clone git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:tzimmermann/linux.git

and checkout the mgag200-simplekms-20200405 branch afterwards.

Best regards
Thomas
