I have no recollection why that check is there, but it seems to trigger
all the time, so remove it. Everything works fine without.

I suspect copypasta from the mst private state stuff, which relied on this
lock to protect it. Except your code never bothered to grab that lock (or
any other) so was technically broken until we added generic locking in

    drm/atomic: integrate modeset lock with private objects

Hence this is now ok to drop, originally it wasnt.

Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

Aside: You're single-thread all your atomic updates on the hub->lock,
which might not be what you want. At least updates to separate crtc should
go through in parallel. Usual way to fix this is to add a
tegra_crtc_state->hub_changed that your earlier code sets, and then you
walk the crtc states in the atomic commit (only those, not all, otherwise
you just rebuild that global lock again), and then only grab the hub state
when you need to update something.

Cheers, Daniel

Great, thanks for pointing that out. I'll update the commit message with
that explanation.

I'm confused. Where do you see hub->lock? Did you mean wgrp->lock?

struct tegra_display_hub->base.lock I have no idea what wgrp->lock is
protecting - the functions seem to be only called from driver load/cleanup
code, and that is single-threaded. If I'm not missing anything then
wgrp->lock does nothing for you.

This is currently single-threaded, but the idea was to make window group
assignment more dynamic. I currently always enable window groups because
there's no good place to dynamically do that. Once I figure that out the
lock would become necessary, so I'd prefer to leave it in place as sort
of a reminder that I need to actually worry about the locking.

I'll have to look into the hub->base.lock, I don't recall exactly what I
thought at the time and it seems like I didn't leave enough comments in
the code to quickly refresh my memory...
