Daniel Vetter c3b790ea07 drm: Manage drm_mode_config_init with drmm_
drm_mode_config_cleanup is idempotent, so no harm in calling this
twice. This allows us to gradually switch drivers over by removing
explicit drm_mode_config_cleanup calls.

With this step it's now also possible that (at least for simple
drivers) automatic resource cleanup can be done correctly without a
drm_driver->release hook. Therefore allow this now in
devm_drm_dev_init().

Also with drmm_ explicit drm_driver->release hooks are kinda not the
best option: Drivers can always just register their current release
hook with drmm_add_action, but even better they could split them up to
simplify the unwinding for the driver load failure case. So deprecate
that hook to discourage future users.

v2: Fixup the example in the kerneldoc too.

v3:
- For paranoia, double check that minor->dev == dev in the release
  hook, because I botched the pointer math in the drmm library.
- Call drm_mode_config_cleanup when drmm_add_action fails, we'd be
  missing some mutex_destroy and ida_cleanup otherwise (Laurent)

v4: Add a drmm_add_action_or_reset (like devm_ has) to encapsulate this
pattern (Noralf).

v5: Fix oversight in the new drmm_add_action_or_reset macro (Noralf)

v4: Review from Sam:
- drmm_mode_config_init wrapper (also suggested by Thomas)
- improve commit message, explain better why ->relase is deprecated

v5:
- Make drmm_ the main function, with the old one as compat wrapper
  (Sam)
- Add FIXME comments to drm_mode_config_cleanup/init() that drivers
  shouldn't use these anymore.
- Move drmm_add_action_or_reset helper to an earlier patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
