In some cases I've been seeing a race where two framebuffers
would be initialized, as kirin_fbdev_output_poll_changed()
might get called quickly in succession, resulting in the
initialization happening twice. This could cause the system
to boot up with a blank screen.

This patch adds a simple mutex to serialize it and seems to
avoid the race.

Suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi John,

The patch seems good to me, except one minus comment.
Maybe change fb_lock to fbdev_lock would be better.

Thanks,

Sure I'll change that too, but I'll wait before next week before
resending to see if anyone else has feedback.

Ok. Done! Thanks again for the review and feedback!

I feel a bit like a broken record, but:

Instead of reinventing broken delayed fbdev setup everywhere, can we
polish Thierry's patches to move that into the fbdev helpers in the core?
hisilicon isn't the only driver the (re)invents this weel, it'd be really
awesome if we could fix this bug just once ...

For reference, the patches:

http://markmail.org/message/d3jc4vebkndtvlkf#query:+page:1+mid:d3jc4vebkndtvlkf+state:results

I guess Thierry got sidetracked on these, but except for a bit of locking
scheme polish I think they've been mostly ready. Shouldn't be much work to
refresh them, hunt for other new drivers reinventing this wheel, do the
locking polish maybe and then get them landed.

Thanks, Daniel

Thanks for the pointer here, and apologies, I really am not very deep
into or do that much following DRM development. I just am chasing bugs
on my board and trying to fix them up, so I wasn't aware this was
something brought up before.

I'll take a look at it and see what I can sort out.
