Currently, DRM atomic uAPI allows only primary planes to be flipped asynchronously. However, each driver might be able to perform async flips in other different plane types. To enable drivers to set their own restrictions on which type of plane they can or cannot flip, use the existing atomic_async_check() from struct drm_plane_helper_funcs to enhance this flexibility, thus allowing different plane types to be able to do async flips as well. Create a new parameter for the atomic_async_check(), `bool flip`. This parameter is used to distinguish when this function is being called from a plane update from a full page flip. In order to prevent regressions and such, we keep the current policy: we skip the driver check for the primary plane, because it is always allowed to do async flips on it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
