workqueue: skip the node_nr_active update for non-unbound workqueuesgrafted
apply_wqattrs_commit() updates node_nr_active->max unconditionally. wq->node_nr_active[] is only allocated for unbound workqueues, so guard the call before per-cpu workqueues start using this path. No functional change: only unbound workqueues reach apply_wqattrs_*() today. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

+
+Display Hardware Handling
+=========================
+
+This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
+the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
+display, output probing and related topics.

+
+KUnit Tests
+===========
+
+The VC4 Driver uses KUnit to perform driver-specific unit and
+integration tests.
+
+These tests are using a mock driver and can be ran using the
+command below, on either arm or arm64 architectures,
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/tests/.kunitconfig \
+ --cross_compile aarch64-linux-gnu- --arch arm64
+
+Parts of the driver that are currently covered by tests are:
+ * The HVS to PixelValve dynamic FIFO assignment, for the BCM2835-7
+ and BCM2711.
+
