[RFC 0/2] Add DRM SoC framework

[Thierry Reding]

This series adds an initial framework that allows to register a graphics
complex as found on many SoCs with the DRM/KMS subsystem. Patch 1 adds
the actual framework and patch 2 implements a very rudimentary skeleton
driver on top of it. It's really just to show off how to use the DRM/SoC
API and of no use otherwise.

The reason for implementing this is that the approach currently used by
many SoC DRM drivers is to instantiate a dummy platform device for the
DRM driver to bind against, which is somewhat of a kludge. The proposal
in this series takes care of this implicitly and instantiates only what
is really needed to make the DRM core happy.

I fully realize that this may not be that much of an improvement over
using the drm_platform_init()/drm_platform_exit() functions, but I'm
still interested in what people think about it.
