Rafael Barbalho ed3b667993 drm/i915: Fix crash when failing to parse MIPI VBT
This particular nasty presented itself while trying to register the
intelfb device (intel_fbdev.c). During the process of registering the device
the driver will disable the crtc via i9xx_crtc_disable. These will
also disable the panel using the generic mipi panel functions in
dsi_mod_vbt_generic.c. The stale MIPI generic data sequence pointers would
cause a crash within those functions. However, all of this is happening
while console_lock is held from do_register_framebuffer inside fbcon.c. Which
means that you got kernel log and just the device appearing to reboot/hang for
no apparent reason.

The fault started from the FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED event using the
fb_notifier_call_chain call in fbcon.c.

This regression has been introduced in

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387
