I think the WARN_ON in cmdq driver should be remove because that
warning show that cmdq_task_cb is not used but I that is what I want.

I've no environment to test code now. I apply this series because I
assume Yongqiang has test his patch "Clear pending flag when cmdq
packet is done".  Before I setup the environment (this may take a long
time), I would find others to fix this problem.
According to your information, "c1ec54b7b5af drm/mediatek: Use mailbox
rx_callback instead of cmdq_task_cb" would cause many warning but
display still work, right? If so, I think we should focus on
"f4be17cd5b14 drm/mediatek: Remove struct cmdq_client".

Chun-Kuang.
