commit 35ed38d58257336c1df26b14fd5110b026e2adde upstream.
It allows drivers to set a struct drm_plane_state .ignore_damage_clips in
their plane's .atomic_check callback, as an indication to damage helpers
such as drm_atomic_helper_damage_iter_init() that the damage clips should
be ignored.
To be used by drivers that do per-buffer (e.g: virtio-gpu) uploads (rather
than per-plane uploads), since these type of drivers need to handle buffer
damages instead of frame damages.
That way, these drivers could force a full plane update if the framebuffer
attached to a plane's state has changed since the last update (page-flip).
Fixes: 01f05940a9a7 ("drm/virtio: Enable fb damage clips property for the primary plane")

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.
