It would be much nicer if the is-manual flag was somehow conveyed from
connector/encoder to the crtc when doing modesetting. I don't know how
or where, so just thinking out loud. However, if we need to do such loop
as above, I think we should just do it once, perhaps in
omap_crtc_atomic_enable, and store the value in omap_crtc's private data.

This doesn't look correct, omap_crtc_dss_start_update() already sets the
enable bit for manual update displays. And you don't want to set the
enable to false with manual update displays.

HDMI handling here is already a special case due to HW issues, so I'd
rather see the manual update handled separately from the HDMI.

Why delayed work here?

It's actually not quite clear to me how manual update displays work with
DRM...

As far as I see, we have essentially two cases: 1) single buffering,
where the userspace must set an area in the fb dirty, which then
triggers the update, 2) multi buffering, which doesn't need fb dirty,
but just a page flip which triggers the update.

In the 2) case (which I think is the optimal case which all the modern
apps should use), there's no need for delayed work or any work, and the
code flow should be very similar to the auto-update model.

Also, as Daniel mentioned in "drm/omapdrm: Nuke
omap_framebuffer_get_next_connector()" thread, the dirtying mechanism in
the series is not valid.
