In function dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_commit_done we are always
checking if the relative CTL is started by waiting for an interrupt
to fire: it is fine to do that, but then sometimes we call this
function while the CTL is up and has never been put down, but that
interrupt gets raised only when the CTL gets a state change from
0 to 1 (disabled to enabled), so we're going to wait for something
that will never happen on its own.

Solving this while avoiding to restart the CTL is actually possible
and can be done by just checking if it is already up and running
when the wait_for_commit_done function is called: in this case, so,
if the CTL was already running, we can say that the commit is done
if the command transmission is complete (in other terms, if the
interface has been flushed).

This has unfortunately not solved any ctl_start timeout issues for me/us
on other platforms yet, but for the code:

This sets my delay record to reply to two months. Great achievement!

Jokes apart, yes it would make sense to do that, it's something that works
at least... but we should verify that such a thing doesn't break new platforms
(like sm8150 and newer).

On sm6125 (keeping in mind that we're on llvmpipe, will bring up the GPU
later) none of this hurts the display:

- Without this patch, so only checking for wait_for_ctl_start;
- With this patch, checking for idle if it was already started;
- With this patch altered to only ever call wait_for_tx_complete (wait
  for idle), in place of wait_for_ctl_start.

Working in the sense that glxgears, which actually reports a framerate
of approx 170 despite being on llvmpipe on an SoC that is still in
snail-mode, seems to update (commit) the panel smoothly on every
occasion.

On this note, does it perhaps make more sense to call the "internal"
_dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_idle function directly, instead of going
through the "public" dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_tx_complete which
seems solely intended to handle the wait_for_tx_complete callback?

I prefer calling _dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_idle directly and
optionally adding our own error message.  IIRC DRM_ERROR prints source
information such as the function this originated from, and that makes it
impossible to distinguish between the wait_for_tx_complete callback or
the invocation through dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_commit_done anyway.

I wouldn't be happy to find myself in a situation in which I get strange
display slowness without any print to help me; for this reason, I find
having the print in place useful for debugging of both perf and fault.

Same thought here, though dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_tx_complete
exists for the sole reason of printing a nice debug message, which I
wouldn't want to be misused by dpu_encoder_phys_cmd_wait_for_commit_done
punting its errors on wait_for_tx_complete - if that happens the first
thing I'd do during debugging is assign individual messages to both,
otherwise it is impossible to know which two functions is the cause: we
might as well "duplicate" the error message right now and prevent such
confusion from occurring in the first place?
