Well, had to drop it again since it didn't compile:
CC [M] drivers/gpu/drm/drm_blend.o
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c: In function ‘drm_atomic_plane_print_state’:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c:920:5: error: too few arguments to function ‘drm_get_format_name’
drm_get_format_name(fb->pixel_format));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ./include/drm/drmP.h:71:0,
from drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c:29:
./include/drm/drm_fourcc.h:65:7: note: declared here
char *drm_get_format_name(uint32_t format, struct drm_format_name_buf *buf);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can you pls rebase onto drm-misc or linux-next or something?
Thanks, Daniel
