Hi Thomas,
Can you please hold off on applying the kmb patch, I am seeing some issues while testing. Modetest works, but video playback only plays once, and it fails the second time with this patch.

Sounds a bit like the testing issue at [1]. For testing, you need the latest drm-misc-next or drm-tip. Specifically, you need commit 1e4cd78ed493 ("drm: Don't test for IRQ support in VBLANK ioctls").

Let me know whether this works for you.

Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

DRM's IRQ helpers are only helpful for old, non-KMS drivers. Move
the code behind CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY. Convert KMS drivers to Linux
IRQ interfaces.

DRM provides IRQ helpers for setting up, receiving and removing IRQ
handlers. It's an abstraction over plain Linux functions. The code
is mid-layerish with several callbacks to hook into the rsp drivers.
Old UMS driver have their interrupts enabled via ioctl, so these
abstractions makes some sense. Modern KMS manage all their interrupts
internally. Using the DRM helpers adds indirection without benefits.

Most KMS drivers already use Linux IRQ functions instead of DRM's
abstraction layer. Patches 1 to 12 convert the remaining ones.
The patches also resolve a bug for devices without assigned interrupt
number. DRM helpers don't test for IRQ_NOTCONNECTED, so drivers do
not detect if the device has no interrupt assigned.

Patch 13 removes an unused function.

Patch 14 moves the DRM IRQ helpers behind CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY. Only
the old non-KMS drivers still use the functionality.

v2:
	* drop IRQ_NOTCONNECTED test from atmel-hlcdc (Sam)
	* use devm_request_irq() in atmel-hlcdc (Sam)
	* unify variable names in arm/hlcdc (Sam)

Thomas Zimmermann (14):

The following patches are all:
Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

   drm/fsl-dcu: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/gma500: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/kmb: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/msm: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/mxsfb: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/tidss: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm/vc4: Convert to Linux IRQ interfaces
   drm: Remove unused devm_drm_irq_install()

The remaining patches I either skipped or already had a feedback from
me or I asked a question.

	Sam
