This is revision 8 implementing a GPU crash state for drm/msm
(https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/36097/). This patchset adds better
documentation and reflects comments from the mailing lists. I know we will
miss 4.19 at this point, but I think this is ready to soak in msm-next for
a while.

The object of this code is to store and provide enough information to debug
software and hardware issues on the Adreno hardware in a semi human-readable
format that can also be parsed by scripts.

THe full set of changes here capture basic information about the GPU, the
status and contents of the ringbuffers, a snapshot of the current register state
and the active buffers from the hanging submit.

The data is printed with devcoredump.  For example, after a hang you can get
the data from /sys/class/devcoredump/devcdX/data where X is a unique number.

v8: Add documentation and consolidate puts/printf code from code comments
v7: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL for __drm_puts_coredump and use %zd to print a size_t
variable for the bo dump thanks to the ever vigilant zero one bot.
v6: Add drm_puts() and use it in the appropriate place.  Clean up a few minor
bugs here and there.
v5: Fix symbol error in i915_gpu_error.c thanks to 01 dot org bot. Added
open/release functions for the show debugfs file to get the state per Chris
Wilson. Slightly modified the register output format to be more YAML friendly
also per Chris.
v4: Add buffer dump for the active submit. Fix refcount issue with devcoredump.
Change header for a5xx registers to registers-hlsq because I'm told YAML
requires unique tags.
v3: Make recommended changes to ascii85 per Chris Wilson. Use devcoredump to
dump crash states as suggested by Bjorn Andersson and add a new drm_print
facility to facilitate that. Remove the now obsolete 'crash' debugfs node.
Add documentation for the crash dump output.
v2: Convert output to yaml, use ascii85 to dump ringbuffer contents.

Jordan Crouse (13):
