The full name of PSR is Panel Self Refresh, panel device could refresh

of sense to save the power consumption.
For example, when desktop haven't change the context for a long time,
then we could refresh the data to the hardware framebuffer of panel,
and then let panel enter into PSR mode. After that system could poweroff
the LCDC controller and eDP controller, just let panel refresh the screen
by itself.
It's hard to decide when panel should enter into PSR or exit from PSR, in
this time I chose to let the drm_vblank enable/disable event driver the PSR.
This thread is based on Mark's RK3399 VOP thread[0] and my RK3399 eDP
thread[1].

Looks like you didn't wire up the drm_framebuffer->funcs->dirty callback
for manual upload of simple clients like bootsplash or fbdev. I think
that's needed. At least it's needed for every other manual upload dsi and
edp psr implementation.

That's great, thanks for your remind. Seems like userspace which does
frontbuffer rendering must call this ioctl to flush out the changes on
manual-update display outputs. It's helpful to hook this callback to
notify eDP refresh the eDP RFB(remote frame buffer).
But I think this is hard to used on Rockchip eDP controller, Rockchip eDP
driver just used two modes, Sink Device PSR_S0 (PSR inactive), and Sink
Device PSR_S2 (PSR active, display from RFB).
I think the "dirty" callback is only used when Sink device enter into PSR_S3
mode (PSR active, capture and display), need to update the remote frame
buffer. But on Rockchip platform the panel would be very easy to lose frame
in this PSR mode. I'm confused in this case, so I didn't enable that.
If we didn't enable the PSR_S3 mode, then we don't need to update the panel
remote frame buffer, so this "->dirty" callback would be unused in this
case.
Thanks,
