6d9cdfc271 drm/radeon: add load detection support for ext DAC on R200 (v2)
The R200 asics use an external DAC for the secondary DAC.
The current KMS code tries to use code for the integrated
TV DAC for R200 which leads to unpredictable results since
R200 does not have an integrated TV DAC. This patch ports
the external DAC load detection support from the UMS
driver to KMS.

v2: fix typo in loop break logic

f8c4d701ae DRM/radeon: For single CRTC GPUs move handling of CRTC_CRT_ON to crtc_dpms().
On all dual CRTC GPUs the CRTC_CRT_ON in the RADEON_CRTC_EXT_CNTL register
 controls the CRTC of the primary DAC. Therefore it is set in the DAC DMPS
function.
This is different for GPU's with a single CRTC but a primary and a
TV DAC: here it controls the single CRTC no matter where it is routed.
Therefore we set it here. This avoids an elaborate on/off state tracking
since both primary_dac_dpms() and tv_dac_dpms() functions would have
to touch this bit.
On single CRTC GPUs with just one DAC it's irrelevant where this bit
is handled.

9c50b1d937 DRM/Radeon: Fix primary DAC Load Detection for RV100 chips.
For Radeon 7500 ATI recommends a DAC_FORCE value of 0x1ac. This value
works better on ES1000 (RV100) chips, too, as it doesn't produce any false
positives on any cards I have tested. Therefore let's assume that this
value is good for all RV100 and RV200 chipset generations.

0829184711 drm/radeon: Don't destroy I2C Bus Rec in radeon_ext_tmds_enc_destroy().
radeon_i2c_fini() walks thru the list of I2C bus recs rdev->i2c_bus[]
to destroy each of them.
radeon_ext_tmds_enc_destroy() however also has code to destroy it's
associated I2C bus rec which has been obtained by radeon_i2c_lookup()
and is therefore also in the i2c_bus[] list.
This causes a double free resulting in a kernel panic when unloading
the radeon driver.
Removing destroy code from radeon_ext_tmds_enc_destroy() fixes this
problem.

612a9aab56 Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm merge (part 1) from Dave Airlie:
 "So first of all my tree and uapi stuff has a conflict mess, its my
  fault as the nouveau stuff didn't hit -next as were trying to rebase
  regressions out of it before we merged.

  Highlights:
   - SH mobile modesetting driver and associated helpers
   - some DRM core documentation
   - i915 modesetting rework, haswell hdmi, haswell and vlv fixes, write
     combined pte writing, ilk rc6 support,
   - nouveau: major driver rework into a hw core driver, makes features
     like SLI a lot saner to implement,
   - psb: add eDP/DP support for Cedarview
   - radeon: 2 layer page tables, async VM pte updates, better PLL
     selection for > 2 screens, better ACPI interactions

  The rest is general grab bag of fixes.

  So why part 1? well I have the exynos pull req which came in a bit
  late but was waiting for me to do something they shouldn't have and it
  looks fairly safe, and David Howells has some more header cleanups
  he'd like me to pull, that seem like a good idea, but I'd like to get
  this merge out of the way so -next dosen't get blocked."

Tons of conflicts mostly due to silly include line changes, but mostly
mindless.  A few other small semantic conflicts too, noted from Dave's
pre-merged branch.

b62e948fd0 drm/radeon: don't poll tv dac if crtc2 is in use.
So when we added output polling, we'd suddenly use this code more often, and the fact that it always takes over crtc2 and messes with it during probing isn't what we really want to be happening. A more complete fix would to change it to use whatever crtc was free at the time, but for now lets stay simple and just don't poll if crtc2 is already in use.

Although a more correct fix was found I suspect we should do this as well, until we get a chance to readdres the tv out polling issues.

771fe6b912 drm/radeon: introduce kernel modesetting for radeon hardware
Add kernel modesetting support to radeon driver, use the ttm memory
manager to manage memory and DRM/GEM to provide userspace API.

When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
in the log and they return failure.

KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
the position of the different buffers.

The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current
experimental userspace to run.

This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX,
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX).
