Subject: [PATCH v8 1/3] gpu: drm: separate panel orientation property creating and value setting

drm_dev_register() sets connector->registration_state to
DRM_CONNECTOR_REGISTERED and dev->registered to true. If
drm_connector_set_panel_orientation() is first called after
drm_dev_register(), it will fail several checks and results in following
warning.

Add a function to create panel orientation property and set default value
to UNKNOWN, so drivers can call this function to init the property earlier
, and let the panel set the real value later.

v7->v8:
- check if the prop is created to avoid leak issue when called multiple
times.
- attempt to create prop in drm_connector_set_panel_orientation if prop
is not created before, so driver don't need to call
drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property if they don't need to
set the property earlier.

Hi,

I stumbled upon this when investigating the same WARN_ON on amdgpu.
Thanks for the patch :)

In the case where the property has not been created beforehand, you
forgot to reinitialize prop here, after calling
drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property(). This means
drm_object_property_set_value() will be called with a NULL second argument
and Oops the kernel.

Yes. But *after the property is successfully created*, the prop variable is still
NULL. And then you call the following, using prop, which is still NULL:

>> > + drm_object_property_set_value(&connector->base, prop,
>> > + info->panel_orientation);

This will do property->dev right on the first line of code, and dereference the
null prop pointer.

You must do

prop = dev->mode_config.panel_orientation_property;

again after drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property successfully
returns, or call drm_object_property_set_value using
dev->mode_config.panel_orientation_property directly:

drm_object_property_set_value(&connector->base,
dev->mode_config.panel_orientation_property
info->panel_orientation);

hi Gabriel,

drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property() will create prop if
it's null. If prop fails to be created there, it will return -ENOMEM.
