Thanks for the fixes Melissa, we'll re-add them to next week's promotion and 
re-test.

Nice!

Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] drm/atomic-state-helper: fixes for blend-mode-prop 
warning

PREMULTI was the default DRM blend mode until 9813e158d13d
("drm/drm_blend: allow blend mode property without PREMULTI") introduced the possibility 
of exposing the blend mode property without PREMULTI being supported. However, 
__drm_atomic_helper_plane_state_init() still resets pixel_blend_mode to PREMULTI (hardcoded), 
ignoring the supported mode in this property. In the same series, 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure 
blend mode supported if pixel format with alpha exposed") starts warning drivers that supports 
alpha formats in a given planes but doesn't support blend mode property, which includes AMD primary 
and cursor planes.

For AMD DCN families, overlay and primary planes support the three blend modes, 
and therefore PREMULTI is still the default mode. So the warning can be fixed 
by just creating blend mode properties for primary planes too. PREMULTI is the 
default/unique mode for cursor planes in DCN and DCE driver. However, looks 
like PIXEL_NONE is the unique blend mode supported by DCE-generation driver. I 
don't have the hardware to check it out, but looking at the code I understand 
that, even if the hardware can do PREMULTI or COVERAGE, the way it programs 
registers doesn't make these other blend modes actually available.

Bearing this in mind, this series is organized as follow:

- Patch 1 fixes the pixel_blend_mode reset when the blend mode property
   is advertised without PREMULTI support. It's needed for AMD
   DCE-generation (patch 3) and I think with this we can also remove a
   workaround in nouveau nv50_wndw_default_state() caused by the
   hardcoded PREMULTI default value [1].

- Patch 2 fixes the missing-blend-mode-property warning for DCN primary
   plane and for DCN+DCE cursor plane. The alpha property keeps only on
   overlay planes because looks like this is not supported by AMD primary
   planes and it doesn't affect the blend mode warning we are targetting.
   Enabling alpha properties to primary was also causing -EINVAL on IGT
   alpha tests because it started testing primary planes and disabling it
   (which is not allowed by the AMD display driver).

- Patch 3 fixes the warning for DCE primary plane, but I detached this
   solution from the previous patch because I don't have hardware to
   validate if my assumption about PIXEL_NONE-only is correct.

[v1]: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[email protected]/
Changes:
- new patch for pixel_blend_mode default value other than PREMULTI.
- remove DCE11 which supports per_pixel_alpha but doesn't support 
DCN_UNIVERSAL_PLANE.
- new patch for the primary plane blend mode on DCE-generations

[v2]: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[email protected]/
Changes:
- keep alpha property only for overlay planes (looks like primary plane
   doesn't actually support it) - alpha prop in primary planes causes IGT
   test failures with RX 7900 XT on a 4k60 HP U27 as reported by Daniel
   Wheeler.
- improve readability of if conditions (Alex H)
- add Leandro's r-b tags.

Best Regards,

Melissa
