Merge tag 'drm-misc-next-2020-12-17' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc into drm-next

drm-misc-next for v5.12:

UAPI Changes:
- Not necessarily one, but we document that userspace needs to force probe connectors.

Cross-subsystem Changes:
- Require FB_ATY_CT for aty on sparc64.
- video: Fix documentation, and a few compiler warnings.
- Add devicetree bindings for DP connectors.
- dma-buf: Update kernel-doc, and add might_lock for resv objects in begin/end_cpu_access.

Core Changes:
- ttm: Warn when releasing a pinned bo.
- ttm: Cleanup bo size handling.
- cma-helper: Remove prime infix, and implement mmap as GEM CMA functions.
- Split drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays into 2 functions.
- Add a new api to install irq using devm.
- Update panel kerneldoc to inline style.
- Add DP support to drm/bridge.
- Assorted small fixes to ttm, fb-helper, scheduler.
- Add atomic_commit_setup function callback.
- Automatically use the atomic gamma_set, instead of forcing drivers to declare the default atomic version.
- Allow using degamma for legacy gamma if gamma is not available.
- Clarify that primary/cursor planes are not tied to 1 crtc (depending on possible_crtcs).
- ttm: Cleanup the lru handler.

Driver Changes:
- Add pm support to ingenic.
- Assorted small fixes in radeon, via, rockchip, omap2fb, kmb, gma500, nouveau, virtio, hisilicon, ingenic, s6e63m0 panel, ast, udlfb.
- Add BOE NV110WTM-N61, ys57pss36bh5gq, Khadas TS050 panels.
- Stop using pages with drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays, and switch all callers to use ttm_sg_tt_init.
- Cleanup compiler and docbook warnings in a lot of fbdev devices.
- Use the drmm_vram_helper in hisilicon.
- Add support for BCM2711 DSI1 in vc4.
- Add support for 8-bit delta RGB panels to ingenic.
- Add documentation on how to test vkms.
- Convert vc4 to atomic helpers.
- Use degamma instead of gamma table in omap, to add support for CTM and color encoding/range properties.
- Rework omap DSI code, and merge all omapdrm modules now that the last omap panel is now a drm panel.
- More refactoring of omap dsi code.
- Enable 10/12 bpc outputs in vc4.
