drm/amd/display: Try RGB before YCbCr 4:4:4 in stream validationgrafted
amdgpu_dm_create_validate_stream_for_sink() walks encoding_order[] and uses the first encoding that validates. YCbCr 4:4:4 is listed before RGB, so an HDMI sink that advertises 4:4:4 gets YCbCr 4:4:4 whenever the "color format" property is left at AUTO, even though RGB fits the same link. That contradicts the documented AUTO behaviour for HDMI in enum drm_connector_color_format (RGB, falling back to YCbCr 4:2:0 only when the bandwidth is not available or the mode is 4:2:0-only), which the amdgpu implementation of the property also describes. It also leaves the "Broadcast RGB" property without effect on such sinks, since the quantization range it selects only applies to RGB output. Try RGB first. The mask still holds every encoding the sink supports, so a mode that cannot carry RGB falls back exactly as before. For reference, v7.2 picked RGB here unless YCbCr 4:4:4 was forced through debugfs, while earlier kernels picked YCbCr 4:4:4 for any HDMI sink that advertised it.

+Crypto Engine
+=============
+
+Overview
+--------
+The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
+
+Requirement
+-----------
+You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
+crypto_engine:
+
+::
+
+ struct your_tfm_ctx {
+ struct crypto_engine engine;
+ ...
+ };
+
+The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
+crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
+has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
+using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
+structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
+of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
+
+Order of operations
+-------------------
+You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
+Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
+engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
+``crypto_engine_exit()``.
+
+Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
+providing functions for the following:
+
+* ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
+ corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
+ work is required, do it here.
+
+* ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
+ request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
+
+* ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
+ performing the operation.
+
+Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
+associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
+request by using:
+
+::
+
+ container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
+
+When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
+the crypto engine via one of:
+
+* crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_kpp_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
+
+* crypto_finalize_aead_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_akcipher_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_hash_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_kpp_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_skcipher_request()
