Before Haswell we used to have the CPU pipes and the PCH transcoders.
We had the same amount of pipes and transcoders, and there was a 1:1
mapping between them. After Haswell what we used to call CPU pipe was
split into CPU pipe and CPU transcoder. So now we have 3 CPU pipes (A,
B and C), 4 CPU transcoders (A, B, C and EDP) and 1 PCH transcoder
(only used for VGA).
For all the outputs except for EDP we have an 1:1 mapping on the CPU
pipes and CPU transcoders, so if you're using CPU pipe A you have to
use CPU transcoder A. When have an eDP output you have to use
transcoder EDP and you can attach this CPU transcoder to any of the 3
CPU pipes. When using VGA you need to select a pair of matching CPU
pipes/transcoders (A/A, B/B, C/C) and you also need to enable/use the
PCH transcoder.
For now we're just creating the cpu_transcoder definitions and setting
cpu_transcoder to TRANSCODER_EDP on DDI eDP code, but none of the
registers was ported to use transcoder instead of pipe. The goal is to
keep the code backwards-compatible since on all cases except when
using eDP we must have pipe == cpu_transcoder.
V2: Comment the haswell_crtc_off chunk, suggested by Damien Lespiau
and Daniel Vetter.
We currently need the haswell_crtc_off chunk because TRANSCODER_EDP
can be used by any CRTC, so when you stop using it you have to stop
saying you're using it, otherwise you may have at some point 2 CRTCs
claiming they're using TRANSCODER_EDP (a disabled CRTC and an enabled
one), then the HW state readout code will get completely confused.
In other words:
Imagine the following case:
xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --crtc 0
xrandr --output eDP1 --off
xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --crtc 2
After the last command you could get a "pipe A assertion failure
(expected off, current on)" because CRTC 0 still claims it's using
TRANSCODER_EDP, so the HW state readout function will read it
(through PIPECONF) and expect it to be off, when it's actually on
because it's being used by CRTC 2.
So when we make "intel_crtc->cpu_transcoder = intel_crtc->pipe" we
make sure we're pointing to our own original CRTC which is certainly
not used by any other CRTC.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
