I think cmdq should not have knowledge of client. These statement show
that cmdq know that DSI0-tasks is different with DPI0-tasks. I propose
the 'session' to replace engine flag. For example, main display create
one cmdq_session and external display create another cmdq_session. For
client driver, every tasks created by main display is bound to main
display session. For cmdq driver, it should dynamically bind a session
to a HW thread, and then dispatch tasks of this session to this HW
thread. After HW thread run out of tasks of this session, detach this
session with this thread.
For the problem of remove wfe cmd, I think a session can have a property
of merge_wfe_cmd. For display session, session->merge_wfe_cmd = true.
For other client, it's false.

Here is the sample code to create cmdq_rec with session.

merge_wfe_cmd = true;
cmdq_session_create(merge_wfe_cmd, &primary_display_session);
cmdq_rec_create(dev, primary_display_session, &rec);


Therefore, the below definition can be removed.
