I have been waiting for someone to address this since I'm not skilled
enough myself to tackle the atomic machinery. It would be be nice to do
all flushing during commit since that would mean that the tinydrm drivers
could be driven solely through drm_simple_display_pipe_funcs. I wouldn't
have to wire through the dirty callback like I do now.

I see that you use a nonblocking commit. What happens if a new dirtyfb
comes in before the previous is done?

If we could save the dirty clips, then I could use this in tinydrm.
A full flush over SPI takes ~50ms so I need to shave off where I can.

This works for me in my tinydrm world:

 /**

I did some brief testing a few months back with PRIME buffers imported
from vc4 and it looked like X11 sometimes did a page flip followed by a
dirtyfb. This kills performance for me since I flush on both. Do you know
any details on how/where X11 handles this?
