drm/i915/gen9: Calculate watermarks during atomic 'check' (v2)
Moving watermark calculation into the check phase will allow us to to reject display configurations for which there are no valid watermark values before we start trying to program the hardware (although those tests will come in a subsequent patch). Another advantage of moving this calculation to the check phase is that we can calculate the watermarks in a single shot as part of the atomic transaction. The watermark interfaces we inherited from our legacy modesetting days are a bit broken in the atomic design because they use per-crtc entry points but actually re-calculate and re-program something that is really more of a global state. That worked okay in the legacy modesetting world because operations only ever updated a single CRTC at a time. However in the atomic world, a transaction can involve multiple CRTC's, which means we wind up computing and programming the watermarks NxN times (where N is the number of CRTC's involved). With this patch we eliminate the redundant re-calculation of watermark data for atomic states (which was the cause of the WARN_ON(!wm_changed) problems that have plagued us for a while). We still need to work on the 'commit' side of watermark handling so that we aren't doing redundant NxN programming of watermarks, but that's content for future patches. v2: - Bail out of skl_write_wm_values() if the CRTC isn't active. Now that we set dirty_pipes to ~0 if the active pipes change (because we need to deal with DDB changes), we can now wind up here for disabled pipes, whereas we couldn't before.
