Writeback connectors do not produce any on-screen output and require special care for use. Such connectors are hidden from enumeration in DRM resources by default, but they are still picked-up by fbdev. This makes rather little sense since fbdev is not really adapted for dealing with writeback. Moreover, this is also a source of issues when userspace disables the CRTC (and associated plane) without detaching the CRTC from the connector (which is hidden by default). In this case, the connector is still using the CRTC, leading to am "enabled/connectors mismatch" and eventually the failure of the associated atomic commit. This situation happens with VC4 testing under IGT GPU Tools. Filter out writeback connectors in the fbdev helper to solve this.

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.
