The second for_each_oldnew_intel_plane_in_state() takes the pipe coordinate space damaged area and sets new_plane_state->psr2_sel_fetch_area with the plane coordinate space damaged area. > - no checks for plane scaling that I can see but it still assumes it can > just assume a 1:1 relationship between src and dst coordinates My understanding is that intel_atomic_plane_check_clipping() will adjust src to match dst width and height. > - bigjoiner also affects the coordinate spaces, so that part too is probably > busted > I don't think there is a commercial available eDP panel that would require bigjoiner. We could definitely rule PSR2 out if such case shows up by adding a check in intel_psr2_sel_fetch_config_valid().
