Series drm/mipi-dsi: Reduce bloat and add funcs for cleaner init seqs | expand

Commit Message

Through a cooperative effort between Hsin-Yi Wang and Dmitry
Baryshkov, we have realized the dev_err() in the
mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() macros was causing quite a bit of bloat to the
kernel. Let's hoist this call into drm_mipi_dsi.c by adding a "chatty"
version of the functions that includes the print. While doing this,
add a bit more comments to these macros making it clear that they
print errors and also that they return out of _the caller's_ function.

Without any changes to clients this gives a nice savings. Specifically
the macro was inlined and thus the error report call was inlined into
every call to mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() and
mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq(). By using a call to a "chatty" function,
the usage is reduced to one call in the chatty function and a function
call at the invoking site.

Building with my build system shows one example:

$ scripts/bloat-o-meter \
  .../before/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko \
  .../after/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-4404 (-4404)
Function                                     old     new   delta
nt36672e_1080x2408_60hz_init               10640    6236   -4404
Total: Before=15055, After=10651, chg -29.25%

Note that given the change in location of the print it's harder to
include the "cmd" in the printout for mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() since,
theoretically, someone could call the new chatty function with a
zero-size array and it would be illegal to dereference data[0].
There's a printk format to print the whole buffer and this is probably
more useful for debugging anyway. Given that we're doing this for
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq(), let's also print the buffer for
mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() in the error case.

It should be noted that the current consensus of DRM folks is that the
mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() should be deprecated due to the non-intuitive
return behavior. A future patch will formally mark them as deprecated
and provide an alternative.

Changes in v4:
- Update wording as per Linus W.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased upon patch to remove ratelimit of prints.

Changes in v2:
- Add some comments to the macros about printing and returning.
- Change the way err value is handled in prep for next patch.
- Modify commit message now that this is part of a series.
- Rebased upon patches to avoid theoretical int overflow.

Whoops, thanks for catching this! I'll plan to send a v5 tomorrow to
fix this and then I'll still plan to land the series on Thursday
unless anything major comes up.
