Subject: Claude review: drm/atomic: determine the hotspots attribute first

Patch Review
**Correctness: Good.** The reordering is correct in both `drm_atomic_plane_set_property()` and `drm_atomic_plane_get_property()`. The `hotspot_x_property` / `hotspot_y_property` checks are moved above the `plane->funcs->atomic_set/get_property` fallback, which is the right position — core properties should always be matched before falling through to driver callbacks.
In the set path (line 633-635 after patch):
```c
} else if (plane->funcs->atomic_set_property) {
return plane->funcs->atomic_set_property(plane, state,
property, val);
```
Now correctly sits after all core property checks and just before the final `else` error branch. Same pattern applies to the get path (lines 700-701).
**Issues to address:**
1. **Commit message is vague and unclear.** "determine the hotspots attribute first" doesn't accurately describe the change. A better subject would be something like:
> `drm/atomic: check hotspot properties before driver callback fallback`
The body text is also unclear:
> "If drm driver has both 'DRIVER_CURSOR_HOTSPOT' and 'atomic_set/get_property' will cause hotspots property set/get error."
This should explain *why* the error occurs: the driver's `atomic_set_property` callback matches the hotspot property before the core code can handle it, and the driver callback doesn't know how to handle it, so it returns an error. A suggested rewrite:
> The driver's `atomic_set/get_property` callback is a catch-all for
> driver-specific properties. It was checked before the hotspot
> properties in the if-else chain, so for any driver that implements
> both `DRIVER_CURSOR_HOTSPOT` and `plane->funcs->atomic_set_property`,
> the hotspot properties would be dispatched to the driver callback
> instead of being handled by the core code, resulting in errors.
>
> Move the hotspot property checks before the driver callback fallback,
> consistent with all other core property checks in the chain.
2. **Missing `Fixes:` tag.** This fixes a bug introduced when hotspot support was added (commit `4f49a260d4e5` "drm/atomic: Add support for mouse hotspots" or similar — the commit that added the hotspot handling to `drm_atomic_uapi.c`). A Fixes tag is needed for stable backport consideration.
3. **No indication of testing.** The commit message should mention how this was tested, or at least which driver exhibited the problem (if any). If this was found by code inspection, say so.
**Verdict:** The code change itself is correct and clean — no functional objection. The commit message and metadata need rework before this is merge-ready. Request the author to v2 with improved commit message, a Fixes tag, and a note about how this was found/tested.
