As we are going to add support for the Allwinner DE2 Mixer in sun4i-drm
driver, we will finally have two types of layer.

Abstract the layer type to void * and a ops struct, which contains the
only function used by crtc -- get the drm_plane struct of the layer.

Refactored patch in v3.

I think the logic should be reversed here, the CRTC shouldn't care
(much) about the layers at all.

We should modify sun4i_crtc_init to get the argument it needs (primary
and cursor planes for example) through its parameters, and have the
caller (which iirc is sun4i_drv) call it with the right parameters
depending on whether you're using DE or DE2.

If we're doing that, I don't think we even need the pointer to the
array of layers in struct sun4i_crtc, which will make it easier to
deal with.

Correct. It shouldn't. However since the layers are tied to a specific
crtc, they get created as part of the crtc init sequence.

The caller is (now) sun4i_crtc_init.

Ack.

Ack.

I think you should probably take a different approach to abstract the layer
type. How about creating

struct sunxi_layer {
        struct drm_plane plane;
}

base and then subclassing that for sun4i and sun8i? By doing this you can avoid
the nasty casting and you can also get rid of the get_plane() hook and
layer_ops.

That code could be reworked, by initializing the layers directly within
the crtc init code. If you look at rockchip's drm driver, you'll see
they do this. There is a good reason to do it this way, as you need
to first create the primary and cursor layers, pass them in when you
create the crtc, then initialize any additional layers with the
possible_crtcs bitmap.

In our driver we are currently initializing all layers, then going
back and filling in possible_crtcs for the extra layers.

And as Maxime and I mentioned in the other thread, we don't really
need to keep a reference to **layers.

I feel that it's still more proper to offload plane creation code
to *_layers_init function, as:

1. We cannot assume the cursor layer's
existance. In fact currently no code in sun4i-drm (including this
patchset) create a cursor layer.

2. The format of planes heavily depend on the engine type (
sun4i-backend or sun8i-mixer).

3. We should create planes according to the type of engine.
Currently the *_layers_init function is part of engine code (See my
Makefile change).

4. If we do so we will have two codes for plane creating -- one for
primary in sun4i_crtc_init, another for overlays in *_layers_init.

It's correct, layers doesn't need to be kept.

And the struct sunxi_layer refactor also makes sense.
