[PATCH 09/17] drm/cirrus: Enable damage clipping on primary plane

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Enable damage clipping on the primary plane and iterate over small
areas of reported framebuffer damage. Avoid the overhead of permanent
full-screen updates that cirrus currently implements.

This problem is indicated by the warning

  drm_plane_enable_fb_damage_clips() not called

in the kernel's log. Without damage clipping, drivers do full updates
of the screen area. This is costly as many screen updates, such as
cursor movement or command-line input, only change a small portion
of the output. Damage clipping allows renderers to inform drivers about
the changed areas.

With the damage information known, cirrus now iterates over a list of
change areas and only flushes those to the hardware's scanout buffer.
