Hi Daniel:

I tried to apply this patch to drm-misc-next, but failed, and found
this patch is actually based on linux-next, and the code base of
linux-next is a little different with our drm-misc-next.
and one of the difference is linux-next has a patch (call it patch-A):

seq_file: switch over direct seq_read method calls to seq_read_iter
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/7/1267

which changed code like below:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/arm/display/komeda/komeda_dev.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/arm/display/komeda/komeda_dev.c
index 1d767473ba8a06..0246b2e94d8cbd 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/arm/display/komeda/komeda_dev.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/arm/display/komeda/komeda_dev.c
@@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ static int komeda_register_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
 static const struct file_operations komeda_register_fops = {
 	.owner		= THIS_MODULE,
 	.open		= komeda_register_open,
-	.read		= seq_read,
+	.read_iter		= seq_read_iter,
 	.llseek		= seq_lseek,
 	.release	= single_release,
 };

And these code will be deleted by this patch, if we merge this patch into
drm-misc-next firstly before the patch-A, that may import a conflict when
we merge our misc into upstreams.

if we want it to be merged into drm-misc, I think we'd better to wait the
upstream (the patch-A) has been synced back to drm-misc.

And what's your opinion ?

Thanks
James
