The commit da82b8785eeb ("drm/sun4i: add components in breadth first
traversal order") implemented a breadth first traversal of our device tree
nodes graph. However, it was relying on the kernel linked lists, and those
are not really safe for addition.
Indeed, in a single pipeline stage, your first stage (ie, the mixer or
fronted) will be queued, and it will be the final iteration of that list as
far as list_for_each_entry_safe is concerned. Then, during that final
iteration, we'll queue another element (the TCON or the backend) that
list_for_each_entry_safe will not account for, and we will leave the loop
without having iterated over all the elements. And since we won't have
built our components list properly, the DRM driver will be left
non-functional.
We can instead use a kfifo to queue and enqueue components in-order, as was
the original intention. This also has the benefit of removing any dynamic
allocation, making the error handling path simpler too. The only thing
we're losing is the ability to tell whether an element has already been
queued, but that was only needed to remove spurious logs, and therefore
purely cosmetic.
This means that this commit effectively reverses e8afb7b67fba ("drm/sun4i:
don't add components that are already in the queue").

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
