[PATCH v4 0/9] drm/tegra: Miscellaneous enhancements

This patch series introduces a number of useful features for the Tegra
DRM driver. Patch 1 is a documentation update and adds a warning to the
page-flip IOCTL to catch buggy drivers that return success but failed to
update the crtc->fb field, which would cause the reference counting to
become unbalanced.

Patch 2 removes usage of the tegra_framebuffer structure which was used
before the driver moved to the CMA FB helpers. It is wrong to use it but
it happens to work because the drm_fb_cma and tegra_framebuffers were
sufficiently similar.

Patch 3 adds support for the additional two planes available on Tegra
hardware, while patch 4 implement .mode_set_base() to allow for some
nice speed up when changing the framebuffer without actually changing
the resolution. Patch 5 adds VBLANK support and patch 6 builds on the
previous two to provide the page-flipping IOCTL. Patch 7 splits the
DC_CMD_STATE_CONTROL register writes into two consecutive writes as
required by the TRM.

Finally patch 8 fixes color expansions for pixel formats with less than
24 bits per pixel and patch 9 adds a new file, named "framebuffers" to
debugfs which can be used to dump a list of framebuffers attached to the
DRM device. This is most useful to inspect the reference count but could
also be helpful in diagnosing out-of-memory conditions and such.

This series is based on Dave's drm-next branch.
