The Linux DRM Drivers Continue Marching Ahead With Atomic Support

The Linux kernel DRM/KMS drivers continue moving ahead with their atomic conversion.

Daniel Vetter of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has written an update concerning the state of the DRM drivers atomic support.

Some of the recent updates have allowed DRM drivers to remove more basic/boiler-plate code, a helper library for simple display pipelines, fbdev deferred I/O support, generic support to disable fbdev emulation, suspend/resume helpers, generic support for non-blocking commits, improvements to the driver interface documentation, color management support in the atomic space, and more.
