The reason I didn't do this is that a prop change might still result in no
hw state change (e.g. if you go automitic->explicit setting matching
automatic one). Hence I think we need to solve this in lower levels
anyway, i.e. in when computing the config. But it shouldn't cause trouble
yet.

Nah, atomic helpers should figure this out imo. Since if userspace does
the same (loop over all planes) then it won't go through force_disable.

Is that a ack or nack?

I think we shouldn't need this really for i915, and it might cover up
bugs. I prefer we just do the evade modeset logic you've implemented once
we switch over to atomic props. Since atm we only have atomic props which
get updated in pageflips we shouldn't have serious problems here yet (for
setting the rotation prop to 0° again when fbdev starts up).

Or do I miss something still here?

Yes, if the hardware mode is incompatible with its calculated sw mode,
and we set a different mode from fbdev you get 2 modesets instead of 1.

First to make the mode compatible because of the rotate_0, second to set the new mode.

How does that happen? For setting the rotation property we should just
duplicate the current crtc state. Since there's no mode changing (they
should match perfectly no matter how botched the reconstruction is) there
shouldn't be any need to recompute the config completely and discover that
there's a mismatch. Which means we'll just do the plane update (which
might do a few silly mmios but shouldn't block) and that's it.

At least that's what I'd expect - where does this fall apart?

If crtc is active and primary fb visible, and converted to atomic:

restore_fbdev_mode() ->
	drm_mode_plane_set_obj_prop() ->
		drm_atomic_helper_plane_set_property() ->
			drm_atomic_get_plane_state() ->
				drm_atomic_get_crtc_state()
crtc state is part of the state, intel_modeset_pipe_config performs
the initial check if modeset's needed. Lets assume yes:

			modeset()

		drm_mode_set_config_internal() ->
			modeset()

Boom double modeset. :(

The alternative solution is making a atomic version of restore_fbdev_mode,
but that would break drivers that are only partially converted to atomic,
like i915 with i915.nuclear_pageflip=true before the convert to atomic commit.

"Let's assume yes" -> that's imo a bug, so where does this happen so that
we can fix it? Disabling a plane or setting a plane prop really shouldn't
result in a modeset. Well at least if it's not a plane prop that does
required a modeset (but I don't think we have any of those).

From a driver point of view you wouldn't be able to distinguish it from a real modeset to the same mode. :(
In both cases you have all planes added and the crtc.

Thinking about it more there will be 1 thing saving us from a modeset,
drm_atomic_crtc_check will reject enable without mode_blob for atomic drivers,
so until the first mode is set all atomic updates to the crtc will be rejected.

Unfortunately you will still get WARN_ON's for this, so a better solution's needed.

Ok I think I start to grasp what's wrong, the trouble is that we don't
have the mode stuff fully set up yet (which is part of fastboot), which
means we'll get a bogus crtc_state->mode_changed despite that nothing
really changed. Ugly.

Could we insert a dummy mode_blob to avoid the WARNs and the bogus
mode_changed instead? The problem really is that doing this here is just
plugging the one source of troubles you're seeing right now (fbcon), the
initial set_* calls could come from anything really in any order. So we
really better be able to cope.

Even converting fbdev to have an optional atomic patch for DRIVER_ATOMIC
(unsafe i915 options aren't a concern here for me) won't fix this.

No, mode_changed would be harmless, with proper skip modeset support it can be converted to a noop.

Doesn't this mean we should set a real mode read out from hw state instead?
