Amlogic SoCs feature a set of 256 canvas that act as pixel buffer descriptors. Some IPs like the display and video decoders access those pixels by using canvas IDs rather than direct phy addresses.
As such, allocating/manipulating canvases can be done concurrently and there is a need for a standalone, lock-aware canvas provider module.
Currently, canvas code lies in the drm/meson module as it is the sole user.
This patchset adds such canvas provider module and converts drm/meson to using it, stripping/moving the current canvas code.
