The verisilicon driver has a custom framebuffer address calculating
helper that the common drm_fb_dma_get_addr() can substitute.
Differences from drm_fb_dma_get_addr():
- Uses drm_format_info_min_pitch() to calculate the horizontal offset;
however the driver does not support any of the blocked formats, so
this just ends up being the same as in drm_fb_dma_get_addr():
"cpp[plane] * y"
- Uses clipped source coordinates instead of non-clipped coordinates
as in drm_fb_dma_get_addr();
For the primary plane this doesn't matter, since the primary plane
must match the output, i.e. it cannot be clipped. Also this driver
doesn't support scaling.
For the cursor plane this seems wrong, as the clipping seems to be
done by the hardware, and thus the buffer address should be unclipped.
As such, it should be fine to use the common helper and drop the custom
code.

Changes since v1:
- Fixed compile issues
This is only compile tested. I do not have the hardware.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [Medium] Removing software clipping for the cursor plane exposes a preexisting register programming bug, completely breaking cursor clipping.
- [Low] Dangling prototype for `vs_fb_get_dma_addr()`.
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] NULL pointer dereference in plane atomic_disable functions when a plane is newly assigned but invisible.
- [High] `vs_primary_plane_atomic_disable` incorrectly enables the plane instead of disabling it.

[Severity: Medium]
Since we are removing the software clipping workaround, does the hardware
clipping actually work correctly here?
Looking further down in vs_cursor_plane_atomic_update(), the hardware
offsets are programmed without using the shift macros:
regmap_update_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_CURSOR_CONFIG(output),
VSDC_CURSOR_CONFIG_X_OFF_MASK,
-state->crtc_x);
regmap_update_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_CURSOR_CONFIG(output),
VSDC_CURSOR_CONFIG_Y_OFF_MASK,
-state->crtc_y);
Because the unshifted small negative integer falls outside the masks, won't
this evaluate to 0 during the bitwise AND, permanently programming the
offsets to 0 and completely breaking cursor clipping?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential NULL pointer
dereference in the disable path that gets called just above this snippet.
If userspace binds a previously unbound plane where old_plane_state->crtc
is NULL, but places it entirely off-screen, the DRM core sets
new_plane_state->visible = false and calls vs_cursor_plane_atomic_update().
The code then calls vs_cursor_plane_atomic_disable():
if (!state->visible) {
vs_cursor_plane_atomic_disable(plane, atomic_state);
return;
}
Inside vs_cursor_plane_atomic_disable(), and identically in
vs_primary_plane_atomic_disable(), it fetches the CRTC from the old state,
which is NULL, and directly dereferences it:
struct drm_crtc *crtc = state->crtc;
struct vs_crtc *vcrtc = drm_crtc_to_vs_crtc(crtc);
unsigned int output = vcrtc->id;
Could this trigger a kernel panic if a malicious or buggy userspace
submits this type of atomic modeset?
[Severity: High]
This is also a pre-existing issue, but looking at
vs_primary_plane_atomic_disable(), the hardware appears to be enabled
instead of disabled:
regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX(output),
VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX_FB_EN);
Because regmap_set_bits() turns the plane on, won't the primary plane
remain actively rendering when the DRM core disables it, causing the
hardware state to diverge from the kernel state?

[Severity: Low]
Is the prototype for vs_fb_get_dma_addr() still declared in vs_plane.h?
Should we remove it from drivers/gpu/drm/verisilicon/vs_plane.h as well
to avoid leaving a dangling prototype?
