V5 of my patchset which adds the option for having GEM buffers backed by
non-coherent memory.

Changes from V4:

- [2/3]: 
    - Rename to drm_fb_cma_sync_non_coherent
    - Invert loops for better cache locality
    - Only sync BOs that have the non-coherent flag
    - Properly sort includes
    - Move to drm_fb_cma_helper.c to avoid circular dependency

- [3/3]:
    - Fix drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() used to retrieve the old
      state
    - Use custom drm_gem_fb_create()
    - Only check damage clips and sync DMA buffers if non-coherent
      buffers are used

Cheers,
-Paul

I'm pretty sure it's still not the right place. That would be something 
like drm_gem_cma_atomic_helper.c, but creating a new file just for a 
single function doesn't make sense.

It's often a better choice to express such differences via different 
data structures (i.e., different instances of drm_mode_config_funcs) but 
it's not a big deal either.

Please go ahaed and merge if no one objects. All patches:

drm_fb_cma_sync_non_coherent calls drm_fb_cma_* functions, so it's a 
better match than its former location (which wasn't good as it created 
a circular dependency between drm.ko and drm-kms-helper.ko).

Do you have a better idea?

The different drm_mode_config_funcs instances already exist in 
drm_gem_framebuffer_helper.c but are static, and drm_gem_fb_create() 
and drm_gem_fb_create_with_dirty() are just tiny wrappers around 
drm_gem_fb_create_with_funcs() with the corresponding 
drm_mode_config_funcs instance. I didn't want to copy them to 
ingenic-drm-drv.c, but maybe I can export the symbols and use 
drm_gem_fb_create_with_funcs() directly?

Thanks!

No, it was more of a rant than a review comment. Please go ahead and 
merge the patchset.
