[PATCH v2 00/20] drm/atomic: Rework initial state allocation

[Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org>]

Hi,

This series started from my work on the hardware state readout[1], and
more specifically a discussion with Thomas[2].

This series expands the work that has been merged recently to make
drm_private_obj and drm_private_state allocation a bit more consistent
and ended up creating a new atomic_create_state callback to allocate a
new state with no side effect.

The first patches are a documentation of the existing behaviour and some
random cleanups.

Then, we add the new atomic_create_state callback to every other DRM
object. Next, we leverage those new callbacks to create a new helper,
drm_mode_config_create_state() to create the initial state for all the
objects of a driver.

Finally, we hook that new helper in drm_dev_register and start
converting a few drivers.

This was tested on a TI SK-AM62, with the tidss driver.

Let me know what you think,
Maxime
