Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drm/probe_helper, i915: Validate MST modes against PBN limits

Something we've been missing for a while with drivers that support MST
is being able to prune modes that can't be set due to bandwidth
limitations. So, let's go ahead and add that. This also adds a new hook
that was needed, mode_valid_ctx, so that we can grab additional locks as
needed when validating modes.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/probe_helper: Add drm_connector_helper_funcs.mode_valid_ctx

This is just an atomic version of mode_valid, which is intended to be
used for situations where a driver might need to check the atomic state
of objects other than the connector itself. One such example is with
MST, where the maximum possible bandwidth on a connector can change
dynamically irregardless of the display configuration.

This check is wrong actually. We define negative values for drm_mode_status
(MODE_BAD, MODE_ERROR, MODE_STALE) which, at least with how drivers currently
seem to use them, are something we want to treat as not-unexpected errors and
not WARN_ON.

This is a bit annoying because it does mean there's some overlap between
drm_mode_status and some legitimate errno values (EPERM, ENOENT, ESRCH). Luckily
I can't see any reason why drivers would want to return those, but I think we
should probably print a debugging message when we get any errno values just so
developers don't get confused (also going to add a IS_ERR() equivalent for
drm_mode_status, but with a different name)

Ah, yes, missed that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but having negative values in
drm_mode_status doesn't make sense to me, as all the non-zero values
there just mean the mode is incorrect for some reason and should be
pruned.

Would it make sense to better separate the mode-status value and any
error return value from mode_valid_ctx(), by adding a drm_mode_status *
parameter to the hook and drm_mode_validate_pipeline()?
