[PATCH v6 00/18] R-Car DU display writeback support

Hello everybody,

This patch series implements display writeback support for the R-Car
Gen3 platforms in the VSP1 and DU drivers.

Patches 01/18 to 11/18 prepare the VSP1 driver for writeback support
with all the necessary plumbing, including extensions of the API between
the VSP1 and DU drivers.

Compared to v5 the major change is the usage of chained display lists in
the VSP to disable writeback after one frame, instead of patching the
active display list in memory. This should solve the potential DMA to
released buffer issue that could occur when the frame start interrupt
was delayed after frame end. Patch 06/18 and 07/18 are new in this
version to support usage of chained display pipelines.

Compared to v4 the major change is the move from V4L2 to DRM writeback
connectors for the userspace API. This has caused a few issues with
writeback support to be uncovered, and they are addressed by patches
12/18 to 14/18.

Patches 15/18 to 17/18 then perform refactoring of the DU driver, to
finally add writeback support in patch 18/18.

The writeback pixel format is restricted to RGB, due to the VSP1
outputting RGB to the display and lacking a separate colour space
conversion unit for writeback. The writeback framebuffer size must match
the active mode, writeback scaling is not supported by the hardware.

Writeback requests being part of atomic commits, they're queued to the
hardware when they are received, become active at the next vblank, and
complete on the following vblank. The display list chaining mechanism
ensures that writeback will be enabled for a single frame only, unless
the next atomic commit contains a separate writeback request.

The code is based on a merge of the media master branch, the drm-next
branch and the R-Car DT next branch. For convenience patches can be
