The driver already calls its suspend functionality to turn off all of the hardware and put it into a quiescent state before shutdown. Basically shares the same code we use for suspend.
As per my comment above, for this driver, my patch was a "plea for
help". I have no idea if it's really needed or if suspend handles it.
My main concerns are:
a) If it's possible that someone out there is using this DRM driver
with a "drm_panel" then we need to make sure the panel gets disabled /
unprepared properly at shutdown time. The goal is to remove the
special logic in some panel drivers that disables the panel at
shutdown time. The guidance I got from Maxime is that we should be
relying on the DRM driver to disable panels at shutdown time and not
have extra per-panel code for it.
b) It is documented that DRM driers call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown()
at shutdown time. Even if things are working today, it's always
possible that something will change later and break for drivers that
aren't doing this.
If you're confident that everything is great for the "amdgpu" driver
then I'm happy to drop this patch and not consider it a blocker for
the eventual removal of the code in the individual panels drivers.
If, after reading this, you conclude that some sort of patch is
needed, I'd love it if you could test/post a patch yourself and then
I'll drop this patch from my series.
