This API will be used to support YUV frame buffer formats in a standard
way.

Last but not least, create a much needed fbdev API documentation and
document the format setting APIs.

<content type='text'>
Enables page fault based detection of mmap writes to the framebuffer,
which allows standard fbdev apps (like the generic fbdev xorg driver)
to work on DisplayLink devices.

Not all bugs are shaken out of the fb_defio path of udlfb, but it's
tantalizingly close, so this seems a good time to enable by default.

Alternatively, option can be disabled when running with an xorg driver
that can more directly communicate damaged regions of the framebuffer
via IOCTL. This is a simpler, higher perf option, when available.

<title>udlfb: Add module option to do without shadow framebuffer</title>

By default, udlfb allocates a 2nd buffer to shadow what's across
the bus on the USB device.  It can operate without this shadow,
but then it cannot tell which pixels have changed, and must send all.

Saves host memory, but worsens the USB 2.0 bus bottleneck.

This option allows users in very low memory situations (e.g.
bifferboard) to optionally turn off this shadow framebuffer.

<title>DRM: clean up and document parsing of video= parameter</title>

<id>04fee895ef98ffbb91a941b53a92d6949bb6d1c4</id>
<content type='text'>
The video= parameter of the DRM drivers supports some additional flags that
the normal fb drivers do not have. They also allow to limit these flags to
specific outputs. Both things were previously undocumented.

Also the parsing of the line had some oddities:
-A lot of misplaced options were silently ignored or partly rejected instead
 of stopping the parsing immediately
-The 'R' option is documented to follow the 'M' option if specified. It is not
 documented that 'M' is needed to specify 'R' (also this is the case for normal
 fb drivers). In fact the code is correct for normal fb drivers but wrong for
 DRM ones.
 The old code allowed 'R' only _before_ 'M' (since it parses backwards) and only
 if 'M' is given at all which is not needed for the DRM drivers.
-the margins option ('m') was parsed but later ignored even if the later
 functions support it.
-specifying multiple enable options at the same time did not lead to an error.
-specifying something bogus for horizontal resolution (i.e. other things as
 digits) did not lead to an error but an invalid resolution was used.

If any errors are encountered the position of the faulting string is now
printed to the user and the complete mode is ignored. This gives much
more consistent error behaviour.

I also removed some useless assignments and changed the local flag variables
to be bool.

    Specify resolution as "&lt;xres&gt;x&lt;yres&gt;[-&lt;bpp&gt;][@&lt;refresh&gt;]"
  sm501fb.bpp:
    Specify bit-per-pixel if not specified mode

- Add support for encoding display mode information
  in the device tree using verbatim EDID block.

  If the "edid" entry in the "smi,sm501" node is present,
  the driver will build mode database using EDID data
  and allow setting the display modes from this database.

udlfb has undergone a fair bit of cleanup recently and is effectively at
the point where it can be liberated from staging purgatory and promoted
to a real driver.

The outstanding cleanups are all minor, with some of them dependent on
drivers/video headers, so these will be done incrementally from udlfb's
new home.
