-TODOs
-===============================================================================
-
-1. Base this on drm-next - WIP
-
-
-2. Cleanup commit history
-
-
-3. WIP - Drop page flip helper and use DRM's version
-
-
-4. DONE - Flatten all DC objects
- * dc_stream/core_stream/stream should just be dc_stream
- * Same for other DC objects
-
- "Is there any major reason to keep all those abstractions?
-
- Could you collapse everything into struct dc_stream?
-
- I haven't looked recently but I didn't get the impression there was a
- lot of design around what was public/protected, more whatever needed
- to be used by someone else was in public."
- ~ Dave Airlie
-
-
-5. DONE - Rename DC objects to align more with DRM
- * dc_surface -> dc_plane_state
- * dc_stream -> dc_stream_state
-
-
-6. DONE - Per-plane and per-stream validation
-
-
-7. WIP - Per-plane and per-stream commit
-
-
-8. WIP - Split pipe_ctx into plane and stream resource structs
-
-
-9. Attach plane and stream reources to state object instead of validate_context
-
-
-10. Remove dc_edid_caps and drm_helpers_parse_edid_caps
- * Use drm_display_info instead
- * Remove DC's edid quirks and rely on DRM's quirks (add quirks if needed)
-
- "Making sure you use the sink-specific helper libraries and kernel
- subsystems, since there's really no good reason to have 2nd
- implementation of those in the kernel. Looks likes that's done for mst
- and edid parsing. There's still a bit a midlayer feeling to the edid
- parsing side (e.g. dc_edid_caps and dm_helpers_parse_edid_caps, I
- think it'd be much better if you convert that over to reading stuff
- from drm_display_info and if needed, push stuff into the core). Also,
- I can't come up with a good reason why DC needs all this (except to
- reimplement half of our edid quirk table, which really isn't a good
- idea). Might be good if you put this onto the list of things to fix
- long-term, but imo not a blocker. Definitely make sure new stuff
- doesn't slip in (i.e. if you start adding edid quirks to DC instead of
- the drm core, refactoring to use the core edid stuff was pointless)."
- ~ Daniel Vetter
-
-
-11. Remove dc/i2caux. This folder can be somewhat misleading. It's basically an
-overy complicated HW programming function for sendind and receiving i2c/aux
-commands. We can greatly simplify that and move it into dc/dceXYZ like other
-HW blocks.
-
-12. drm_modeset_lock in MST should no longer be needed in recent kernels
- * Adopt appropriate locking scheme
-
-13. get_modes and best_encoder callbacks look a bit funny. Can probably rip out
-a few indirections, and consider removing entirely and using the
-drm_atomic_helper_best_encoder default behaviour.
-
-14. core/dc_debug.c, consider switching to the atomic state debug helpers and
-moving all your driver state printing into the various atomic_print_state
-callbacks. There's also plans to expose this stuff in a standard way across all
-drivers, to make debugging userspace compositors easier across different hw.
-
-15. Move DP/HDMI dual mode adaptors to drm_dp_dual_mode_helper.c. See
-dal_ddc_service_i2c_query_dp_dual_mode_adaptor.
-
-16. Move to core SCDC helpers (I think those are new since initial DC review).
-
-17. There's still a pretty massive layer cake around dp aux and DPCD handling,
-with like 3 levels of abstraction and using your own structures instead of the
-stuff in drm_dp_helper.h. drm_dp_helper.h isn't really great and already has 2
-incompatible styles, just means more reasons not to add a third (or well third
-one gets to do the cleanup refactor).
-
-18. There's a pile of sink handling code, both for DP and HDMI where I didn't
-immediately recognize the standard. I think long term it'd be best for the drm
-subsystem if we try to move as much of that into helpers/core as possible, and
-share it with drivers. But that's a very long term goal, and by far not just an
-issue with DC - other drivers, especially around DP sink handling, are equally
-guilty.
-
-19. DONE - The DC logger is still a rather sore thing, but I know that the
-DRM_DEBUG stuff just isn't up to the challenges either. We need to figure out
-something that integrates better with DRM and linux debug printing, while not
-being useless with filtering output. dynamic debug printing might be an option.
-
-20. Use kernel i2c device to program HDMI retimer. Some boards have an HDMI
-retimer that we need to program to pass PHY compliance. Currently that's
-bypassing the i2c device and goes directly to HW. This should be changed.
-
-21. Remove vector.c from dc/basics. It's used in DDC code which can probably
-be simplified enough to no longer need a vector implementation.
