In the func __drm_mode_set_config_internal, objects (fb, old_fb, crtc) of crtc->primary are used at many places. To access the objects of primary, it is dereferenced from crtc every time. It's better to save it into drm_plane pointer. This will make the code look simple.

Maybe this is simpler, but not overwhelmingly so.

To be honest, I'm a bit concerned with the volume of no-op patches you're sending to the list. I so appreciate and encourage your participation, but perhaps we could redirect your efforts.

A lot of the patches you send (not necessarily this one, it's pretty straightforward), are changing core pieces of commit validation which have already been proven to work. These types of changes require a lot of context and scrutinization on the part of the reviewer, which takes time that most of us don't have. If you introduce a bug with a no-op change, people are not going to be happy.

So, in order to make everyone more productive, may I suggest the following:

- Every change you make sure have a purpose greater than "this code snippet is marginally more readable". - If you want to make readability changes, do them in one patch series with a common theme (for example, the drm_crtc.h refactors). - Spend your time on bug fixes, performance improvements, and features as opposed to readability. - Make sure you test your code.

Again, *thank you* for your patches, it's great to have you here.
