[PATCH 07/29] drm/atomic: Implement drm_atomic_print_old_state
Posted by Maxime Ripard 1 month ago
We currently have a helper to print the new states associated to a
drm_atomic_state, but we don't have a variant to print the old state.

It's somewhat expected, since we almost never care about what the new
state looks like when we commit a new state, but we're about to change
that.

I assume something later in the series uses this code?

Thanks!

Yeah, the readout code calls it to print the state that was built from
the hardware state.
