[PATCH 0/5] [SRU][C/master] Reduce boot noise on Dragonboard

[Paolo Pisati]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797154

Impact:

During boot on a Dragonboard410c using a recent Bionic or Cosmic kernel,
there's some noise like:

...
[ 3.665431] msm_dsi_phy 1a98300.dsi-phy: Failed to get supply 'vddio':
-517
[ 3.669243] msm_dsi_phy 1a98300.dsi-phy: dsi_phy_regulator_init: failed
to init regulator, ret=-517
[ 3.676180] msm_dsi_phy 1a98300.dsi-phy: dsi_phy_driver_probe: failed to
init regulator
...

or

...
[ 4.192280] qcom,pm8916-wcd-spmi-codec 200f000.spmi:pm8916 at 1:codec at f000:
Failed to get supply 'vdd-cdc-io': -517
[ 4.195660] qcom,pm8916-wcd-spmi-codec 200f000.spmi:pm8916 at 1:codec at f000:
Failed to get regulator supplies -517
...

and similar.

This is mainly due to DRM_MSM* and SND_QCOM_MSM* that were built-in, and
try to initialize before the voltage regulators are ready to work,
resulting in a noisy bootlog.

These patches factor out some code as modules, so when the kmods are
loaded and initialized, regulators are already present and ready to
attach - all these config changes shave around ~3K bytes from dmesg,
making the bootlog easir to parse.

Fix:

Apply the attached patches and recompile

How to test:

Boot a patched kernel and check for the above noise in dmesg

Regression potential:

None, we are just turning some code into kmods, and turning off a couple
of not used feature for this flavour - all the other flavours are
untouched.
