Merge tag 'topic/drm-misc-2016-06-01' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel into drm-next
Frist -misc pull for 4.8, with pretty much just random all over plus a few more lockless gem BO patches acked/reviewed by driver maintainers. I'm starting a bit earlier this time around because there's a few invasive patch series to land (nonblocking atomic prep work, fence prep work, rst/sphinx kerneldoc finally happening) and I need a baseline with all the branches merged. * tag 'topic/drm-misc-2016-06-01' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel: (21 commits) drm/vc4: Use lockless gem BO free callback drm/vc4: Use drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked drm: Initialize a linear gamma table by default drm/vgem: Use lockless gem BO free callback drm/qxl: Don't set a gamma table size drm/msm: Nuke dummy gamma_set/get functions drm/cirrus: Drop redundnant gamma size check drm/fb-helper: Remove dead code in setcolreg drm/mediatek: Use lockless gem BO free callback drm/hisilicon: Use lockless gem BO free callback drm/hlcd: Use lockless gem BO free callback vga_switcheroo: Support deferred probing of audio clients vga_switcheroo: Add helper for deferred probing virtio-gpu: fix output lookup drm/doc: Unify KMS Locking docs drm/atomic-helper: Do not call ->mode_fixup for CRTC which will be disabled Fix annoyingly awkward typo in drm_edid_load.c drm/doc: Drop vblank_disable_allow wording drm: use seqlock for vblank time/count drm/mm: avoid possible null pointer dereference ...

- Beside some lookup structures with their own locking (which is hidden
- behind the interface functions) most of the modeset state is protected
- by the <code>dev-&lt;mode_config.lock</code> mutex and additionally
- per-crtc locks to allow cursor updates, pageflips and similar operations
- to occur concurrently with background tasks like output detection.
- Operations which cross domains like a full modeset always grab all
- locks. Drivers there need to protect resources shared between crtcs with
- additional locking. They also need to be careful to always grab the
- relevant crtc locks if a modset functions touches crtc state, e.g. for
- load detection (which does only grab the <code>mode_config.lock</code>
- to allow concurrent screen updates on live crtcs).
