[PATCH 6.1] drm/client: Send hotplug event after registering a client

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann at suse.de>

Generate a hotplug event after registering a client to allow the
client to configure its display. Remove the hotplug calls from the
existing clients for fbdev emulation. This change fixes a concurrency
bug between registering a client and receiving events from the DRM
core. The bug is present in the fbdev emulation of all drivers.

The fbdev emulation currently generates a hotplug event before
registering the client to the device. For each new output, the DRM
core sends an additional hotplug event to each registered client.

If the DRM core detects first output between sending the artificial
hotplug and registering the device, the output's hotplug event gets
lost. If this is the first output, the fbdev console display remains
dark. This has been observed with amdgpu and fbdev-generic.

Fix this by adding hotplug generation directly to the client's
register helper drm_client_register(). Registering the client and
receiving events are serialized by struct drm_device.clientlist_mutex.
So an output is either configured by the initial hotplug event, or
the client has already been registered.

The bug was originally added in commit 6e3f17ee73f7 ("drm/fb-helper:
generic: Call drm_client_add() after setup is done"), in which adding
a client and receiving a hotplug event switched order. It was hidden,
as most hardware and drivers have at least on static output configured.
Other drivers didn't use the internal DRM client or still had struct
drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed set. That callback handled
hotplug events as well. After not setting the callback in amdgpu in
commit 0e3172bac3f4 ("drm/amdgpu: Don't set struct
drm_driver.output_poll_changed"), amdgpu did not show a framebuffer
console if output events got lost. The bug got copy-pasted from
fbdev-generic into the other fbdev emulation.

(cherry picked from commit 27655b9bb9f0d9c32b8de8bec649b676898c52d5)
Dropped changes to drivers/gpu/drm/armada/armada_fbdev.c as
174c3c38e3a2 drm/armada: Initialize fbdev DRM client
was introduced in 6.5-rc1.

Dropped changes to exynos, msm, omapdrm, radeon, tegra drivers
as missing code these commits introduced:

99286486d674 drm/exynos: Initialize fbdev DRM client
841ef552b141 drm/msm: Initialize fbdev DRM client
9e69bcd88e45 drm/omapdrm: Implement fbdev emulation as in-kernel client
e317a69fe891 drm/radeon: Implement client-based fbdev emulation
9b926bcf2636 drm/radeon: Only build fbdev if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is set
25dda38e0b07 drm/tegra: Initialize fbdev DRM client
8f1aaccb04b7 drm/gma500: Implement client-based fbdev emulation
b79fe9abd58b drm/fbdev-dma: Implement fbdev emulation for GEM DMA helpers

Move code for drm-fbdev-generic.c to matching file in 6.1.y because
these commits haven't happened in 6.1.y.
8ab59da26bc0 drm/fb-helper: Move generic fbdev emulation into separate source file
