tinydrm provides helpers for very simple displays that can use

Looks all pretty. A bunch of ideas below, but all optional. For merging I
think simplest to first get the core patches in through drm-misc, and then
you can submit a pull request to Dave for tinydrm+backends (just needs an
ack for the dt parts from dt maintainers), including MAINTAINERS entry.
Ack from my side.
So when the tinydrm core patches are in:
- tinydrm patches are posted to dri-devel.
- DT patches need ack.
- If there's no comments or resolved, I send a pull request to Dave.
How often and when do I send pull requests?

Do drivers _always_ need a MAINTANERS entry, or is it preferred,
nice to have, not so important, ...

I like the idea, but my cunning long-term plan is that we'd extend the
atomic support to support a dirty rectangle. Together with the
non-blocking stuff we could then implement fb->funcs->dirty in terms of
atomic. But here you implement atomic in terms of ->dirty, and we'd end up
with a loop.
Personally I'd just drop this helper here and move this part into the
backend modules ...

... because this here is kinda a hack, since it's not synchronized with
the screen update. Otoh these tiny panels are kinda special.
Yeah, you're right it's only synchronized if the framebuffer changes.
So this won't catch events that's not page flip events.
afaict DRM_EVENT_VBLANK is the only other event. When is that used?
How about if I check for events as well so the fb is always flushed
if someone wants know?
void tinydrm_display_pipe_update(struct drm_simple_display_pipe *pipe,
struct drm_plane_state *old_state)
{
struct tinydrm_device *tdev = pipe_to_tinydrm(pipe);
struct drm_framebuffer *fb = pipe->plane.state->fb;
struct drm_crtc *crtc = &tdev->pipe.crtc;
if (fb && (fb != old_state->fb || crtc->state->event)) {
pipe->plane.fb = fb;
if (fb->funcs->dirty)
fb->funcs->dirty(fb, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0);
}
if (crtc->state->event) {
spin_lock_irq(&crtc->dev->event_lock);
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event(crtc, crtc->state->event);
spin_unlock_irq(&crtc->dev->event_lock);
crtc->state->event = NULL;
}
}
Or maybe I should send the event in the dirty() function instead?

if (fb->funcs->dirty)
fb->funcs->dirty(fb, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0);
