[PATCHv2,19/22] drm/bridge: tc358767: copy the mode data, instead of storing the pointer

In tc_bridge_mode_set callback, we store the pointer to the given
drm_display_mode, and use the mode later. Storing a pointer in such a
way looks very suspicious to me, and I have observed odd issues where
the timings were apparently (at least mostly) zero.

Do a copy of the drm_display_mode instead to ensure we don't refer to
freed/modified data.

Why not tc->bridge.encoder->crtc->state->adjusted_mode or

tc->bridge.encoder->crtc->state->mode ?


They should exists if the mode is set.

Well, one reason was that my main concern was to get the DP output
working (as it was quite broken wrt. the link setup), and I wanted to
minimize all the other changes. This change felt the simplest way to fix
this issue and get forward, without possibly causing new problems.

Second, I'm a bit confused about DRM mode setting, and didn't want to
possibly move the driver into the wrong direction. It's not clear to me
whether the "mode" referred here is about the input or the output mode.
And, in both cases, if there's a bridge between the CRTC and the
TC358767, we would definitely be looking at the wrong mode if we peek at
the CRTC's.

DRM does not support multiple intermediate modes, there is .mode as
requested by userspace and .adjusted_mode with twisted semantic, with
recent improvements[1].

*yet* :-) I don't know when we will need intermediate modes and bridge
states, but we'll get there.

I think this patch is safe, and I agree with Tomi that it minimizes the
impact on the driver.
