30388c6e48 drm/radeon/kms/dce3+: add support for hw i2c using atom
Starting with DCE3 hardware, atom contains a general purpose
ProcessI2cChannelTransaction similar to ProcessAuxChannelTransaction.

Add an implementation using the atom tables for DCE3+ hardware.

This should be a little less CPU intensive than bit banging and
may work better in certain cases.

Enable it by setting the radeon hw_i2c module parameter to 1.  E.g.,
radeon.hw_i2c=1
on the kernel command line in grub.

1849ecb22f drm/kms: Make i2c buses faster
A udelay value of 20 leads to an I2C bus running at only 25 kbps. I2C
devices can typically operate faster than this, 50 kbps should be fine
for all devices (and compliant devices can always stretch the clock if
needed.)

FWIW, the vast majority of framebuffer drivers set udelay to 10
already. So set it to 10 in DRM drivers too, this will make EDID block
reads faster. We might even lower the udelay value later if no problem
is reported.

e384fab8c6 drm/radeon: Extended DDC Probing for Connectors with Improperly Wired DDC Lines (here: Asus M2A-VM HDMI)
Some integrated ATI Radeon chipset implementations with add-on HDMI card
    (e. g. Asus M2A-VM HDMI) indicate the availability of a DDC even
    when the add-on card is not plugged in or HDMI is disabled in BIOS setup.
    In this case, drm_get_edid() and drm_edid_block_valid() periodically
    dump data and kernel errors into system log files and onto terminals.
    For these connectors DDC probing is extended by a check for a correct
    EDID header. Only in case a valid EDID header is also found, the
    (HDMI or DVI) connector will be used by the Radeon driver. This prevents
    the kernel driver from useless flooding of logs and terminal sessions with
    EDID dumps and error messages.
    This patch adds a flag 'requires_extended_probe' to the radeon_connector
    structure. In function radeon_connector_needs_extended_probe() this flag
    can be set on a chipset family/vendor/connector type specific basis.
    In addition, function radeon_ddc_probe() has been adapted to perform
    extended DDC probing if required by the connector's flag.
    Requires function drm_edid_header_is_valid() in DRM module provided by
    [PATCH] drm: Separate EDID Header Check from EDID Block Check.

    Tested for kernel 2.6.35, 2.6.38 and 3.0 on Asus M2A-VM HDMI board

a70882aa31 drm/radeon/kms: add connectors even if i2c fails
Sometimes the i2c test in i2c_bit_add_bus fails
if this happens we fail to register the i2c adapter and
eventually fail to add the connector.  If i2c fails,
add the connector to the user can at least force
it on.

Note that some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by
default which sometimes fails preventing the ddc i2c adapter
from being added.  The i2c adapter works even if the bit test
fails, probably due to pre/post_xfer not getting called in
the test_bit function.  I have another patch to follow
up on that.

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.
In order to avoid backward compatibility issue and to allow clean
design and code the radeon kernel modesetting use different code path
than old radeon/drm driver.

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).
