Hi,
this series mainly ports existining functionality to older SoCs - most
importantly enables alpha blending for RK3036, RK3066, RK3126 and
RK3188.
Besides that, it also changes the window type from DRM_PLANE_TYPE_CURSOR
to DRM_PLANE_TYPE_OVERLAY for VOPs that have only one (1) overlay window.
This doesn't make much sense, the cursor overlay is really just a hint
for legacy ioctls that this is the overlay that should be used for
cursors. Compositors should try to use such planes as full overlays
(if they don't want to use them as a cursor). So sounds like a case of
"fix your compositor".
I agree here - but: If HWC windows would have been implemented in this
particular driver, their max size would be 128x128 on some SoCs - so
they woudn't be really suitable to create an OSD overlay at 4K, for
example. I don't know, but I guess other vendors implement their HWC
windows on this reduced HW resources as well. I guess that is one of the
reasons, why userspace, which aims to be cross-plattfrom, avoids
DRM_PLANE_TYPE_CURSOR when its looking for an usable overlay plane. (a
heuristic, indeed)
For atomic there's 0 difference between a overlay or a cursor (primary
plane is still treated somewhat special in the RMFB ioctl, but again
that's for backwards compat reasons with existing uapi, not because
the primary plane is different).
What does happen though is that this breaks cursor for legacy
userspace, which is probably not really what you want.
Indeed not.
Beforhand I was submiiting this, I looked arround and couldn't find
anything which relies or even depends of a cursor window to be
available. Even if: as per spec only one DRM_PLANE_TYPE_PRIMARY is
mandatory, everything else is optional.
