[PATCH v4 00/14] Improvements and fixes for mxsfb DRM driver

[Robert Chiras]

This patch-set improves the use of eLCDIF block on iMX 8 SoCs (like 8MQ, 8MM
and 8QXP). Following, are the new features added and fixes from this
patch-set:

1. Add support for drm_bridge
On 8MQ and 8MM, the LCDIF block is not directly connected to a parallel
display connector, where an LCD panel can be attached, but instead it is
connected to DSI controller. Since this DSI stands between the display
controller (eLCDIF) and the physical connector, the DSI can be implemented
as a DRM bridge. So, in order to be able to connect the mxsfb driver to
the DSI driver, the support for a drm_bridge was needed in mxsfb DRM
driver (the actual driver for the eLCDIF block).

2. Add support for additional pixel formats
Some of the pixel formats needed by Android were not implemented in this
driver, but they were actually supported. So, add support for them.

3. Add support for horizontal stride
Having support for horizontal stride allows the use of eLCDIF with a GPU
(for example) that can only output resolution sizes multiple of a power of
8. For example, 1080 is not a power of 16, so in order to support 1920x1080
output from GPUs that can produce linear buffers only in sizes multiple to 16,
this feature is needed.

3. Few minor features and bug-fixing
The addition of max-memory-bandwidth DT property was actually needed in order
to limit the bandwidth usage of the eLCDIF block. This is need on systems where
multiple display controllers are presend and the memory bandwidth is not
enough to handle all of them at maximum capacity (like it is the case on
8MQ, where there are two display controllers: DCSS and eLCDIF).
The rest of the patches are bug-fixes.

v4:
- Removed the "Fix vblank events" patch (will cover this issue later, on a
  separate thread)
- Colleted "Tested-by" from Guido
- Collected "Reviewed-by" from Rob Herring

v3:
- Removed the max-res property patches and added support for
  max-memory-bandwidth property, as it is also implemented in other drivers
- Removed unnecessary drm_vblank_off in probe

v2:
- Collected Tested-by from Guido
- Split the first patch, which added more than one feature into relevant
  patches, explaining each feature added
- Also split the second patch into more patches, to differentiate between
  the feature itself (additional pixel formats support) and the cleanup
  of the register definitions for a better representation (guido)
- Included a patch submitted by Guido, while he was testing my patch-set
