[RFC v1 03/20] drm/sysfs: Generate drm uevent with custom string

[Ramalingam C]

Routine to generate DRM uevent with custom string is introduced.
This is required to notify the UMD about the HDCP link breakage
during the ongoing HDCP session. This could happen due to loss of
HDCP packet sync or reauthentication request from HDCP sink as per
the HDCP spec.
