Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drm: fsl-dcu: Use flat cache

Using REGCACHE_RBTREE for MMIO regmap is not valid as spinlock's will be
used during cache allocation.

This fixes the following bug:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 192, name: udevd
[...]

To use flat regcache you also need to set the max_register.

I already have such a patch, see:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-January/099121.html

However, the current suspend/resume implementation (which uses the
regcache) is anyway flawed. I currently prepare a patchset to remove the
regmap cache entirely and use Thierry's new generic suspend/resume
functions.

Ah, thanks for that hint, I was not aware of that. I wondered why my kernel
crashed using flat cache. Seems cache allocation is too small when
max_register=0.
Just sent a patch enforcing setting max_register.

Thanks, meanwhile this will do for me. I think.

Feel free to cc me.
