Merge tag 'drm-misc-next-2023-09-11-1' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc into drm-next
drm-misc-next for v6.7-rc1: UAPI Changes: - Nouveau changed to not set NO_PREFETCH flag explicitly. Cross-subsystem Changes: - Update documentation of dma-buf intro and uapi. - fbdev/sbus fixes. - Use initializer macros in a lot of fbdev drivers. - Add Boris Brezillon as Panfrost driver maintainer. - Add Jessica Zhang as drm/panel reviewer. - Make more fbdev drivers use fb_ops helpers for deferred io. - Small hid trailing whitespace fix. - Use fb_ops in hid/picolcd Core Changes: - Assorted small fixes to ttm tests, drm/mst. - Documentation updates to bridge. - Add kunit tests for some drm_fb functions. - Rework drm_debugfs implementation. - Update xe documentation to mark todos as completed. Driver Changes: - Add support to rockchip for rv1126 mipi-dsi and vop. - Assorted small fixes to nouveau, bridge/samsung-dsim, bridge/lvds-codec, loongson, rockchip, panfrost, gma500, repaper, komeda, virtio, ssd130x. - Add support for simple panels Mitsubishi AA084XE01, JDI LPM102A188A, - Documentation updates to accel/ivpu. - Some nouveau scheduling/fence fixes. - Power management related fixes and other fixes to ivpu. - Assorted bridge/it66121 fixes. - Make platform drivers return void in remove() callback.

When the time comes for Xe, the protection will be lifted on Xe and kept in i915.
-Xe driver will be protected with both STAGING Kconfig and force_probe. Changes in
-the uAPI are expected while the driver is behind these protections. STAGING will
-be removed when the driver uAPI gets to a mature state where we can guarantee the
