If crtc is in clone mode, DRRS will be disabled. Because if the both
the displays are not sharing the same vrefresh, then userspace
activities based on vsync will go for toss.

Clone mode will be rechecked on every restarting Idleness DRRS events.

This is a pretty big hack. Why do you need it? fb tracking should keep any
display in the high mode as long as there's activity, so as long as
userspace flips both buffers for both pipes (which is should for cloned
mode) they'll both be running at max.

And for non-cloned mode (e.g. video only on external TV) things will be
controlled independantly.

Smells a lot like trying to encode policy instead of making sure that the
resulting behaviour matches what we want. And I think it should already.

It's simpler than than: cloned mode == 1 pipe, 1 framebuffer, 1 pageflip.

Does having a vblank_ref count as activity? There is a large body of
code (like OML_sync_control) that assumes a fixed refresh rate for an
output. (Though OML_sync_control is vague about multiple monitor setups
and ignore mode changed altogether.)

Atm we don't yet count vblank refcounts as activity, but would definitely
make tons of sense. Problem is that drm_irq.c is a mess, so for the
meantime I think we have to live with tuning the idleness timer of DRRS
such that for most timing critical apps it's long enough for them not to
notice the tricks we're playing.

And yeah fixing up drm_irq.c is somewhere on my list too - I want a proper
driver entry point for modeset drivers, where we could intercept vblank
waits and everything as we see fit. Last piece of modern drm that's still
midlayered (well ignoring that most drivers don't have a demidlayered
driver init yet).

Yup. This is not needed for Idleness as fb tracking will keep the DRRS 
at High refresh rate.
But at content based DRRS, we had some concern from android Userspace 
team that we cant
support content based DRRS for cloned modes (eDP + HDMI or DSI + HDMI).

Of course at this point in time, we can enable the DRRS for all 
scenarios and test. Based on results we can plan ahead.

DRRS tracks each pipe individually and will not be confused if you use the
same framebuffer for more than one pipe (i.e. cloned use-case). The exact
same thing is how X usually is set up.

What exactly are the concerns that DRRS won't work? "concerns" is really
unspecific. We need a really clear description of what's expected, why it
doesn't work with the current DRRS and then figure out a suitable way to
address it. Adding code without a clear use-case is bad.
