For now I just promoted cirrus to be a tinydrm driver ;)
Noticed that those helpers (including tinydrm_memcpy for the
non-converting case) apply clipping on the source but not on
the destination. So, for fullscreen updates that works ok,
but for updating sub-rectangles it doesn't ...
So I guess I have to add a dest_clip bool parameter when moving them.
/me looks for a good place. drm_fb_helpers.c I think.
cheers,
Gerd
