[PATCH v2 1/4] drm/msm: Fix bootup splat with separate_gpu_drm modparam

[Akhil P Oommen]

The drm_gem_for_each_gpuvm_bo() call from lookup_vma() accesses
drm_gem_obj.gpuva.list, which is not initialized when the drm driver
does not support DRIVER_GEM_GPUVA feature. Enable it for msm_kms
drm driver to fix the splat seen when msm.separate_gpu_drm=1 modparam
is set. Also, update the description of DRIVER_GEM_GPUVA flag to
reflect that it is also used by DRM drivers which doesn't support user
defined GPUVA bindings. For eg: msm_kms driver.

[PATCH v2 2/4] drm/msm/a6xx: Fix GMU firmware parser

[Akhil P Oommen]

Current parser logic for GMU firmware assumes a dword aligned payload
size for every block. This is not true for all GMU firmwares. So, fix
this by using correct 'size' value in the calculation for the offset
for the next block's header.

I'm not sure what memcpy translates into for unaligned addresses,
but I'm going to assume it's handled properly..

[PATCH v2 3/4] drm/msm/adreno: Add a modparam to skip GPU

[Akhil P Oommen]

During bringup of a new GPU support, it is convenient to have knob to
quickly disable GPU, but keep the display support. This helps to
fallback to 'kms_swrast' in case of bootup issues due to GPU. Add a
modparam to support this.

It is not obvious why we can skip error checking of
dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact() API. Add a comment explaining it.

Oops, sent it too soon before updating the changelog:

Changes in v2:
- Update the documentation for DRM_GEM_GPUVA flag (Rob)
- Use parenthesis in Macro definition (Konrad)
- Reworded the comment in acd_probe() (Rob)
