A barely noticeable (especially if hardly reproducible) display flicker
may not be the biggest concern in the development environment. However,
an automotive OEM will not only notice it, but will also be haunted by
its phenomenon/nature till it is understood in the greatest detail and
ultimately eradicated, to avoid impairing user experience.

Troubleshooting the above without the right tools becomes a nightmare.

Since VSPD underruns may indeed cause [1] display flicker, we believe
that having a minimal/lightweight support for detecting and logging
such events would be extremely beneficial. Obviously, this only applies
to VSP2 modules having an interface to DU (i.e. not mem2mem).

This implementation is heavily inspired by Koji Matsuoka's work [2-3],
but has been refactored to hopefully become production/mainline-friendly
(the original feature is intended for the development environment only).

NOTES:

 - VSPD_MAX_NUM (4) is based on Table 32.4 in R-Car3 User's HW Manual.

 - The 'vspd_underrun' array is not fully populated, since plenty of
   SoCs have less than 4 VSPDs (3M/V3H 1 VSPD, H3N/D3/M3N/E3 2 VSPD).
   However, it is arguably the necessary trade-off to avoid:
    * unnecessarily complicated data structures
    * unnecessarily complicated user interfaces
    * kmemleak-prone dynamic allocation

 - The /sys/module/vsp1/parameters/vspd_underrun interface is chosen
   to avoid custom sysfs/debugfs interfaces (e.g. certain users may
   disable debugfs to achieve smallest possible image size).

   $ cat /sys/module/vsp1/parameters/vspd_underrun
   0,0,0,0

 - The 'vspd_underrun' module parameter is chosen as RO, to prevent
   users tampering with it and reporting inaccurate values to the
   developers/maintainers.

   $ ls -al /sys/module/vsp1/parameters/vspd_underrun
   -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Apr 25 18:00 /sys/module/vsp1/parameters/vspd_underrun

 - The actual order of the 'vspd_underrun' elements reflects the VSPD
   order in 'renesas,vsps = <&vspdX 0>, <&vspdY 0>, <&vspdZ 0>';

 - dev_warn_ratelimited is chosen to prevent any potential printk storms
   (hence pollution of dmesg) from the interrupt context. If this does
   not address the concerns fully, dev_warn_once() could be used with
   guaranteed minimal impact (but also minimal logging unfortunately).

 - 100 chars per line since v5.7 commit
   bdc48fa11e46f8 ("checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warning")

 - Any comments hugely appreciated. If possible, I kindly ask for some
   testing on R-Car Gen2 since I do not own any Gen2 boards.
   Alternatively, the feature could be easily disabled for Gen2 VSPDs.

Would you please provide brief high-level guidance/steering on this
patch proposal, to define further direction? Many thanks in advance.

Any criticism and/or simply the gut feeling would be very welcome.

Best regards,
Eugeniu
