If the crtc is active, we can simply flip a new fb onto it, provided the other mode setting reqs are met. Otherwise, we'll need to do a full mode set to re-enable the crtc. v2: check for crtc active and set mode_changed accordingly v3: add module parameter, i915.fastboot, to control no fb -> fb flip behavior Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c | 5 +++++ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
