First slice of drm-misc-next for 4.12: Core/subsystem-wide: - link status core patch from Manasi, for signalling link train fail to userspace. I also had the i915 patch in here, but that had a small buglet in our CI, so reverted. - more debugfs_remove removal from Noralf, almost there now (Noralf said he'll try to follow up with the stragglers). - drm todo moved into kerneldoc, for better visibility (see Documentation/gpu/todo.rst), lots of starter tasks in there. - devm_ of helpers + use it in sti (from Ben Gaignard, acked by Rob Herring) - extended framebuffer fbdev support (for fbdev flipping), and vblank wait ioctl fbdev support (Maxime Ripard) - misc small things all over, as usual - add vblank callbacks to drm_crtc_funcs, plus make lots of good use of this to simplify drivers (Shawn Guo) - new atomic iterator macros to unconfuse old vs. new state Small drivers: - vc4 improvements from Eric - vc4 kerneldocs (Eric)! - tons of improvements for dw-mipi-dsi in rockchip from John Keeping and Chris Zhong. - MAINTAINERS entries for drivers managed in drm-misc. It's not yet official, still an experiment, but definitely not complete fail and better to avoid confusion. We kinda screwed that up with drm-misc a bit when we started committers last year. - qxl atomic conversion (Gabriel Krisman) - bunch of virtual driver polish (qxl, virgl, ...) - misc tiny patches all over This is the first time we've done the same merge-window blackout for drm-misc as we've done for drm-intel for ages, hence why we have a _lot_ of stuff queued already. But it's still only half of drm-intel (room to grow!), and the drivers in drm-misc experiment seems to work at least insofar as that you also get lots of driver updates here alredy.
