[PATCH v2 0/3] drm/draw: add check API to avoid spurious WARN

[PATCH v2 0/3] drm/draw: add check API to avoid spurious WARN

[Francesco Valla]

When using the DRM draw support, the only way to check if a color can be
converted from XRGB8888 to a target format is currently to attempt an
actual conversion using drm_draw_color_from_xrgb8888(). This function
however will print a WARN the first time a conversion cannot be
performed, leading to two potential issues:

 - a WARN is emitted without a real reason if the caller is only
   attempting a conversion to check if a format can be supported (which
   is the case for two of the current user of this API);
 - a failing call following the first one is not emitting a WARN, but a
   "valid" color value (0x00000000) is returned nevertheless.

The first issue was observed while using drm_log on a Beagleplay, which
lists AR12 as the first format for its HDMI modesets.

The target of this patch set is to improve this situation; the first
patch introduces a new API devoted only to check if a conversion from
XRGB8888 to the specified format can be performed, while the other two
substitute drm_draw_color_from_xrgb8888() with this new API in the
current users (drm_panic and drm_log) where relevant.

Changes in v2:
- Moved to dedicated switch cases in separate functions instead of
  single one inside common function.
- Fix copy-paste error in commit message.

[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/log: avoid WARN when searching for usable format

[Francesco Valla]

Use drm_draw_can_convert_from_xrgb8888() instead of
drm_draw_color_from_xrgb8888() while searching for a usable color
format. This avoids a WARN in case the first format is not usable.

drm_draw_color_from_xrgb8888() while checking if a color format is
usable. This avoids a WARN in case the first format is not usable.
