And for chips which already use planes for everything internally this shouldn't be a lot more than a few lines. -Daniel > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_crtc.c | 12 ++---------- > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_plane.c | 8 ++++++++ > 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_crtc.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_crtc.c > index b68e58f..7aa9dee 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_crtc.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_crtc.c > @@ -140,16 +140,8 @@ exynos_drm_crtc_mode_set(struct drm_crtc *crtc, struct drm_display_mode *mode, > if (manager->ops->mode_set) > manager->ops->mode_set(manager, &crtc->mode); > > - ret = exynos_plane_mode_set(plane, crtc, crtc->primary->fb, 0, 0, crtc_w, crtc_h, > - x, y, crtc_w, crtc_h); > - if (ret) > - return ret; > - > - plane->crtc = crtc; > - plane->fb = crtc->primary->fb; > - drm_framebuffer_reference(plane->fb); > - > - return 0; > + return exynos_plane_mode_set(plane, crtc, crtc->primary->fb, 0, 0, > + crtc_w, crtc_h, x, y, crtc_w, crtc_h); > } > > static int exynos_drm_crtc_mode_set_commit(struct drm_crtc *crtc, int x, int y, > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_plane.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_plane.c > index 8371cbd..df27e35 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_plane.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_plane.c > @@ -139,6 +139,14 @@ int exynos_plane_mode_set(struct drm_plane *plane, struct drm_crtc *crtc, > overlay->crtc_x, overlay->crtc_y, > overlay->crtc_width, overlay->crtc_height); > > + if (plane->fb) > + drm_framebuffer_unreference(plane->fb); > + > + drm_framebuffer_reference(fb); > + > + plane->fb = fb; > + plane->crtc = crtc; > + > exynos_drm_crtc_plane_mode_set(crtc, overlay); > > return 0; > -- > 1.9.1 > > _______________________________________________ > dri-devel mailing list > dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
