Mali DP500 operates in continuous writeback mode (writes frame content until stopped) and it needs special handling in order to behave like a one-shot writeback engine. The original state machine added for DP500 was a bit fragile, as it did not handle correctly cases where a new atomic commit was in progress when the SE IRQ happens and it would commit some partial updates. Improve the handling by adding a parameter to the set_config_valid() function to clear the config valid bit in hardware before starting a new commit and by introducing a MW_RESTART state in the writeback state machine to cater for the case where a new writeback commit gets submitted while the last one is still being active.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
