From: Logan Gunthorpe logang@deltatee.com
[ Upstream commit 4e5ca2d930aa8714400aedf4bf1dc959cb04280f ]
Add a check to ensure iowrite64 is only used if it is atomic.
It was decided in [1] that the tilcdc driver should not be using an atomic operation (so it was left out of this patchset). However, it turns out that through the drm code, a nonatomic header is actually included:
include/linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h is included from include/drm/drm_os_linux.h:9:0, from include/drm/drmP.h:74, from include/drm/drm_modeset_helper.h:26, from include/drm/drm_atomic_helper.h:33, from drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_crtc.c:19:
And thus, without this change, this patchset would inadvertantly change the behaviour of the tilcdc driver.
