[v4,07/11] drm/fb-helper: Support deferred setup

Commit Message

From: Thierry Reding <[e-mail]>

FB helper code falls back to a 1024x768 mode if no outputs are connected
or don't report back any modes upon initialization. This can be annoying
because outputs that are added to FB helper later on can't be used with
FB helper if they don't support a matching mode.

The fallback is in place because VGA connectors can happen to report an
unknown connection status even when they are in fact connected.

Some drivers have custom solutions in place to defer FB helper setup
until at least one output is connected. But the logic behind these
solutions is always the same and there is nothing driver-specific about
it, so a better alterative is to fix the FB helper core and add support
for all drivers automatically.

This patch adds support for deferred FB helper setup. It checks all the
connectors for their connection status, and if all of them report to be
disconnected marks the FB helper as needing deferred setup. Whet setup
is deferred, the FB helper core will automatically retry setup after a
hotplug event, and it will keep trying until it succeeds.
