Looks really nice, just a few suggestions for the kerneldoc. Would be
awesome if we could get an ack on this from Jyri for tilcdc, but even
without that I think I'll just pull in the next iteration. Still please cc
him.

Thanks, Daniel

Personally not sold on piles of Kconfig knobs for tiny amounts of code
like this one. I'd just drop it. For a more elaborate argument see

http://sietch-tagr.blogspot.ch/2016/04/display-panels-are-not-special.html

Note that almost all the other helpers do not have a Kconfig option, the
only real exception is the fbdev helpers. And those have a good reason:
They'd drag in all of fbdev, and that is actually a pile of code.

"drivers for simple display hardware" is imo clearer.

Hm, I think a bit more text here would be useful.

"drm_simple_display_pipe_init() initializes a simple display pipeline
which has only one full-screen scanout buffer feeding one output. The
pipeline is represented by struct &drm_simple_display_pipe and binds
together &drm_plane, &drm_crtc and &drm_encoder structures into one fixed
entity. Some flexibility for code reuse is provided through a separately
allocated &drm_connector object and supporting optional &drm_bridge
encoder drivers.

I think the logic above looks correct now, but might be worth checking
with your driver that it doesn't let something silly through. I.e. a small
test app that tries to reposition the primary plane, or tries to disable
it while the crtc is on. We should have that somewhere in libdrm I think.

How are drivers supposed to release this stuff again? Maybe add:

"Teardown of a simple display pipe is all handled automatically by the drm
core through calling drm_mode_config_cleanup()."

I think we need to clarify a bit more what the helpers check already:

"The simple display pipeline helpers already check that the plane is not
scaled, fills the entire visible area and is always enabled when the crtc
is also enabled."

Maybe add: "It should be initialized by calling
drm_simple_display_pipe_init()". Imo never hurts to have a few too many
cross references ;-)
