    OMAPDSS: Implement display (dis)connect support · a7e71e7f
    Tomi Valkeinen authored
    We currently have two steps in panel initialization and startup: probing
    and enabling. After the panel has been probed, it's ready and can be
    configured and later enabled.
    
    This model is not enough with more complex display pipelines, where we
    may have, for example, two panels, of which only one can be used at a
    time, connected to the same video output.
    
    To support that kind of scenarios, we need to add new step to the
    initialization: connect.
    
    This patch adds support for connecting and disconnecting panels. After
    probe, but before connect, no panel ops should be called. When the
    connect is called, a proper video pipeline is established, and the panel
    is ready for use. If some part in the video pipeline is already
    connected (by some other panel), the connect call fails.
    
    One key difference with the old style setup is that connect() handles
    also connecting to the overlay manager. This means that the omapfb (or
    omapdrm) no longer needs to figure out which overlay manager to use, but
    it can just call connect() on the panel, and the proper overlay manager
    is connected by omapdss.
    
    This also allows us to add back the support for dynamic switching
    between two exclusive panels. However, the current panel device model is
    not changed to support this, as the new device model is implemented in
    the following patches and the old model will be removed. The new device
    model supports dynamic switching.
