Use a damage iterator to process damage areas individually. Merging
damage areas can result in large updates of unchanged framebuffer
regions. As USB is rather slow, it's better to process damage areas
individually and hence minimize USB-transfered data.
As part of the change, move drm_gem_fb_{begin,end}_cpu_access() into
the plane's atomic_update helper. To avoid overhead and intermediate
writers, we want to synchronize buffers and reserve access only once
before copying damage areas of the framebuffer.

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.
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.
