Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/atomic-helpers: remove legacy_cursor_update hacks

Hi Maxime, Daniel,

We encountered similar issue with mediatek SoCs.

We have found that in drm_atomic_helper_commit_rpm(), when disabling
the cursor plane, the old_state->legacy_cursor_update in
drm_atomic_wait_for_vblank() is set to true.
As the result, we are not actually waiting for a vlbank to wait for our
hardware to close the cursor plane. Subsequently, the execution
proceeds to drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes() to  free the cursor
buffer. This can lead to use-after-free issues with our hardware.

Could you please apply this patch to fix our problem?
Or are there any considerations for not applying this patch?

Regards,
Jason-JH.Lin
