Choose between atomic or non atomic connector dpms helper. If tda998x is connected to a drm driver that does not support atomic modeset calling drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms() causes a crash when the connectors atomic state is not initialized. The patch implements a driver specific connector dpms helper that calls drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms() if driver supports DRIVER_ATOMIC and otherwise it calls the legacy drm_helper_connector_dpms().
Fixes commit 9736e988d328 ("drm/i2c: tda998x: Add support for atomic modesetting").

Ok, so this is the second approach to solve this issue. The first attempt can be found here [1] with the follow from Liviu Dudau that suggested this approach.
It just makes me wonder if drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms() should call the legacy callback automatically if DRIVER_ATOMIC is not set or at least bail out gracefully with an error message. Then again it may be overkill if the tda998x is the only driver that need to support both situations.
Best regards, Jyri

I would guess that in general it makes sense for the core code to do what you suggest, but the idea is to try to encourage the drivers to convert to atomic ops rather than give them too many crutches. And the tda998x will need this for a short period of time until tilcdc converts as well.

It's not just tilcdc that this driver is used by.
I have no plans at present to convert armada to atomic mode setting, although I occasionally push it (I hope) towards that goal. This isn't going to happen quickly, because I've other areas that need work too.
Hi, Based on discussion around this patch:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-February/100685.html
I think the patch below should be applied to tda988x development branch. Would you take it or do you prefer some other approach?
Best regards, Jyri

Hi, Based on discussion around this patch:

I think the patch below should get into queued for v4.5 fixes as the Beaglebone-Black display is currently broken in linux-master and probably Armada is broken too. What should I do to get it there?
Best regards, Jyri
