Initialize CRTC only with primary plane (without cursor) as a preparation to init overlay plane before cursor plane and keep cursor on the top.

Signed-off-by: Melissa Wen melissa.srw@gmail.com

Why can't we first initialize all the planes (primary, cursor, overlay) and then the crtc?

For drivers where there's not really a functional difference between these planes (like vkms, since it's all sw, only difference is z position really) the usual approach is to initialize all planes in a loop. And then call crtc init with the first and last plane for that crtc.

Hi Daniel,

It was a misundertanding from my side. I thought that, besides to initialize the planes, setting the possible_crtcs should also be done in order.

Yeah possible_crtcs is a bit fun. Since most drivers set up their crtcs in the order they are numbered in hw registers, and the possible_crtcs mask is index based (not based on the kms object id userspace sees), you can set it before you actually set up the crtc.

Or (and this is what i915 does for encoders iirc) you can do a special function which computes the possible_crtcs mask after everything is set up, but before you call drm_dev_register - before that point no one else can see any of this anyone, so no problem if it's inconsistent. But that's rather convoluted way of doing things.

So yeah for the future when vkms supports multiple output, we can just pass the index of the output we're creating to that function, and that can be used for possible_crtcs. And as long as we set up all outputs in order, that will then match up with the drm_crtc_index() of the crtc. Fundamentally it's a bit chicken/egg problem, so always a bit confusing. -Daniel

Thanks for the feeback. I will discard this patch from the series.

Passing NULL for the cursor for crtc_init and then patching it up afterwards is a bit a hack, so would be good to avoid that. -Daniel
