PATCH 1/1 drm: rcar-du: Fix R-Car Gen3 crash when VSP is disabled

From: Magnus Damm <[email protected]>

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

With this patch applied the DU will fail to probe on Gen2 if DRM_RCAR_VSP is disabled.

DRM_RCAR_DU should instead depend on VIDEO_RENESAS_VSP1 (with DRM_RCAR_VSP always set) on Gen3.

Do you plan to work on a v2 that fixes this in Kconfig ? I gave it a quick try but ran into a Kconfig circular dependency that I don't have time to debug now.
