DRM driver for (virtual) vga cards using the bochs dispi
interface, such as the qemu standard vga (qemu -vga std).

Don't bother supporting anything but 32bpp for now, even
though the virtual hardware is able to do that.

Known issue: mmap(/dev/fb0) doesn't work.

Add a driver for simple panels. Such panels can have a regulator that
provides the supply voltage and a separate GPIO to enable the panel.
Optionally the panels can have a backlight associated with them so it
can be enabled or disabled according to the panel's power management
mode.

Support is added for two panels: An AU Optronics 10.1" WSVGA and a
Chunghwa Picture Tubes 10.1" WXGA panel.

<content type='text'>
Add a very simple framework to register and lookup panels. Panel drivers
can initialize a DRM panel and register it with the framework, allowing
them to be retrieved and used by display drivers. Currently only support
for DPMS and obtaining panel modes is provided. However it should be
sufficient to enable a large number of panels. The framework should also
be easily extensible to support more sophisticated kinds of panels such
as DSI.

The framework hasn't been tied into the DRM core, even though it should
be easily possible to do so if that's what we want. In the current
implementation, display drivers can simple make use of it to retrieve a
panel, obtain its modes and control its DPMS mode.

Note that this is currently only tested on systems that boot from a
device tree. No glue code has been written yet for systems that use
platform data, but it should be easy to add.

<title>drm: Add MIPI DSI bus support</title>

MIPI DSI bus allows to model DSI hosts and DSI peripherals using the
Linux driver model. DSI hosts are registered by the DSI host drivers.
During registration DSI peripherals will be created from the children
of the DSI host's device tree node. Support for registration from
board-setup code will be added later when needed.

DSI hosts expose operations which can be used by DSI peripheral drivers
to access associated devices.

drm/tegra: Changes for v3.13-rc1

The biggest part of the changes is the decoupling of the host1x and DRM
drivers followed by the move of Tegra DRM back to drivers/gpu/drm/tegra
from whence it came. There is a lot of cleanup as well, and the drivers
can now be properly unloaded and reloaded.

HDMI support for the Tegra114 SoC was contributed by Mikko Perttunen.

gr2d support was extended to Tegra114 and the gr3d driver that has been
in the works for quite some time finally made it in. All pieces to run
an OpenGL driver on top of an upstream kernel are now available.

Support for syncpoint bases was added by Arto Merilainen. This is useful
for synchronizing between command streams from different engines such as
gr2d and gr3d.

Erik Faye-Lund and Wei Yongjun contributed various small fixes. Thanks!

This patch adds support for the pair of LCD controllers on the Marvell
Armada 510 SoCs.  This driver supports:
- multiple contiguous scanout buffers for video and graphics
- shm backed cacheable buffer objects for X pixmaps for Vivante GPU
  acceleration
- dual lcd0 and lcd1 crt operation
- video overlay on each LCD crt via DRM planes
- page flipping of the main scanout buffers
- DRM prime for buffer export/import

This driver is trivial to extend to other Armada SoCs.

Included in this commit is the core driver with no output support; output
support is platform and encoder driver dependent.

<content type='text'>
For drivers which might want to disable fbdev legacy support.

Select the new option in all drivers for now, so this shouldn't result
in any change. Drivers need some work anyway to make fbdev support
optional (if they have it implemented, that is), so the recommended
way to expose this is by adding per-driver options. At least as long
as most drivers don't support disabling the fbdev support.

v2: Update for new drm drivers msm and rcar-du. Note that Rob's msm
driver can already take advantage of this, which allows us to build
msm without any fbdev depencies in the kernel!

v3: Move the MODULE_* stuff from the fbdev helper file to
drm_crtc_helper.c.

<content type='text'>
The snapdragon chips have multiple different display controllers,
depending on which chip variant/version.  (As far as I can tell, current
devices have either MDP3 or MDP4, and upcoming devices have MDSS.)  And
then external to the display controller are HDMI, DSI, etc. blocks which
may be shared across devices which have different display controller
blocks.

To more easily add support for different display controller blocks, the
display controller specific bits are split out into a "kms" module,
which provides the kms plane/crtc/encoder objects.

The external HDMI, DSI, etc. blocks are part encoder, and part connector
currently.  But I think I will pull in the drm_bridge patches from
chromeos tree, and split them into a bridge+connector, with the
registers that need to be set in modeset handled by the bridge.  This
would remove the 'msm_connector' base class.  But some things need to be
double checked to make sure I could get the correct ON/OFF sequencing..

This patch adds support for mdp4 crtc (including hw cursor), dtv encoder
(part of MDP4 block), and hdmi.

The snapdragon chips have multiple different display controllers,
depending on which chip variant/version.  (As far as I can tell, current
devices have either MDP3 or MDP4, and upcoming devices have MDSS.)  And
then external to the display controller are HDMI, DSI, etc. blocks which
may be shared across devices which have different display controller
blocks.
