Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/sun4i: sun4i: Register quirks with the backend structure

In prevision for introducing a new quirk that will be used at atomic
plane check time, register the quirks structure with the backend
structure. This way, it can easily be grabbed where needed.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/sun4i: sun4i: Introduce a quirk for lowest plane alpha support

Not all sunxi platforms with the first version of the Display Engine
support an alpha component on the plane with the lowest z position
(as in: lowest z-pos), that gets blended with the background color.

In particular, the A13 is known to have this limitation. However, it was
recently discovered that the A20 and A33 are capable of having alpha on
their lowest plane.

Thus, this introduces a specific quirk to indicate such support,
per-platform. Since this was not tested on sun4i and sun6i platforms, a
conservative approach is kept and this feature is not supported.

Your new variable should be here.

This only partially does the job. This only allows to have an alpha
plane at the lowest position, but the fact that the alpha works at the
lowest position also means you can have two alpha planes now, and you
didn't change that check.

The pipe allocation algorithm would also need to be checked.

From a readability perspective, it'd be fractionally nicer if the
quirk check was before the alpha checks.

Agreed, I will do that in v2.

You're right, the number of available planes with alpha has to be
changed accordingly. Will do in v2.

From my understanding, the limitation on the number of alpha planes only
takes effect after pipe allocation, so this change doesn't require
modifying the allocation algorithm.

Cheers and thanks for the review,

Paul
