#1508778 — [PATCH] drm: rcar-du: Fix R-Car Gen3 crash when VSP is disabled

Subject[PATCH] drm: rcar-du: Fix R-Car Gen3 crash when VSP is disabled
Message-ID<swneh-6rW-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Magnus Damm <damm+renesas@opensource.se>

For the DU to operate on R-Car Gen3 hardware a combination of DU
and VSP devices are required. Since the DU driver also supports
earlier generations hardware the VSP portion is enabled via Kconfig.

The arm64 defconfig is as of v4.9-rc1 having the DU driver enabled
as a module, however this is not enough to support R-Car Gen3. In
the current case of CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_VSP=n then the kernel crashes
when loading the module. This patch is fixing that particular case.

In more detail, the crash triggers in drm_atomic_get_plane_state()
when __drm_atomic_helper_set_config() passes NULL as crtc->primary.

This patch corrects this issue by failing to load the DU driver on
R-Car Gen3 when VSP is not available.

-ENODEV sounds more appropriate

Alternatively,  DRM_RCAR_DU can force DRM_RCAR_VSP to y if ARCH_R8A7795
or ARCH_R8A7796 is enabled.

Ok, however -ENXIO is the same error code as the DU driver currently
returns when dealing with the VSP and not finding DT nodes.

To avoid dealing with this again I would prefer skipping per-driver
Kconfig options entirely, for instance something like this:

[PATCH/RFC] Simplify Gen3 DU and VSP Kconfig bits

The DU driver has symbol dependencies on VSP and FCP driver code
(V4L2), so we need to take the state of driver support for those
modules into consideration as well instead of only depending on
SoC-specific Kconfig symbols.

Right, you are correct. Sorry for the noise. It seems that I was using
renesas-drivers-2016-10-18-v4.9-rc1 - not mainline v4.9-rc1.

Without this fix the driver still crashes, but not due to defconfig in v4.9-rc1.

Thanks,

Nope, arm64 defconfig on v4.9-rc1:
# CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_DU is not set
