Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:

 - make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev (fbcon was tristate option
   before, now it is a bool) - this is a first step in preparations for
   making console_lock usage saner (currently it acts like the BKL for
   all things fbdev/fbcon) (Daniel Vetter)

 - add fbcon=margin:&lt;color&gt; command line option to select the fbcon
   margin color (David Lechner)

 - add DMI quirk table for x86 systems which need fbcon rotation
   (devices like Asus T100HA, GPD Pocket, the GPD win and the I.T.Works
   TW891) (Hans de Goede)

 - fix 1bpp logo support for unusual width (needed by LEGO MINDSTORMS
   EV3) (David Lechner)

 - enable Xilinx FB driver for ARM ZynqMP platform (Michal Simek)

 - fix use after free in the error path of udlfb driver (Anton Vasilyev)

 - fix error return code handling in pxa3xx_gcu driver (Gustavo A. R.
   Silva)

 - fix bootparams.screeninfo arguments checking in vgacon (Jan H.
   Schönherr)

 - do not leak uninitialized padding in clk to userspace in the debug
   code of atyfb driver (Vladis Dronov)

 - fix compiler warnings in fbcon code and matroxfb driver (Arnd
   Bergmann)

 - convert fbdev susbsytem to using %pOF instead of full_name (Rob
   Herring)

 - structures constifications (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Gustavo A.
   R. Silva, Julia Lawall)

 - misc cleanups (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Hyun Kwon, Julia Lawall, Kuninori

This removes the restriction on the value range of the fbcon=margin:

<title>fbcon: add fbcon=margin:&lt;color&gt; command line option</title>

<id>74c1c8b3326a366d39aa74e1737a28d4cba151c8</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a new command line option to select the fbcon margin color.

The motivation for this is screens where black does not blend into the
physical surroundings of the screen. For example, using an LCD (not the
backlit kind), white text on a black background is hard to read, so
inverting the colors is preferred. However, when you do this, most of the
screen is filled with white but the margins are still filled with black.
This makes a big, black, backwards 'L' on the screen. By setting
fbcon=margin:7, the margins will be filled with white and the LCD looks as
expected.

<title>video/console: Add dmi quirk table for x86 systems which need fbcon rotation</title>

<id>b0d8e409c3626eae42b59a3d76574804f2cef5ef</id>
<content type='text'>
Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet screens and a
display engine which cannot rotate in hardware, so we need to rotate
the fbcon to compensate.

This commit adds a DMI based quirk table which is initially populated with
4 such devices: The Asus T100HA, GPD Pocket, the GPD win and the I.T.Works
TW891, so that the console comes up in the right orientation on these
devices OOTB.

Unfortunately these (cheap) devices also typically have quite generic DMI
data, so we match on a combination of DMI data, screen resolution and a
list of known BIOS dates to avoid false positives.
