[PATCH v2 1/8] drm: Add crtc/encoder/bridge->mode_valid() callbacks

From: Jose Abreu
Date: Tue May 09 2017 - 13:01:05 EST


This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions
called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the
corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes
that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component
can display all the modes.

We also change the description of connector->mode_valid() callback
so that it matches the existing behaviour: It is never called in
atomic check phase.

Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process,
following patches will make use of them.
