drm/imx: lock scanout transfers for consecutive bursts
Because of its shallow queues and limited reordering ability, the i.MX6Q memory controller likes AXI bursts of consecutive addresses a lot. To optimize memory access performance, lock the IPU scanout channels for a number of burst accesses each, before switching to the next channel. The burst size and length of a locked burst chain are chosen not to overshoot the stride. Enabling the 8-burst channel lock on a single 1920x1080@60Hz RGBx scanout (474 MiB/s of 64-byte IPU memory read accesses) reduces the reported memory controller busy cycles from 46% to below 28% on an otherwise idle i.MX6Q.
