[PATCH 00/17] drm/mgag200: Convert to atomic modesetting

This patchset converts mgag200 to atomic modesetting. It uses simple
KMS helpers and SHMEM.

Patches 1 to 4 simplifies the driver before the conversion. For example,
the HW cursor is not usable with the way universal planes work. A few
data structures can be cleaned up.

Patches 5 to 15 untangle the existing modesetting code into smaller
functions. Specifically, mode setting and plane updates are being
separated from each other.

Patch 16 converts mgag200 to simple KMS helpers and enables atomic
mode setting.

As some HW seems to require a framebuffer offset of 0 within the video
memory, it does not work with atomic modesetting. Atomically switching
plane framebuffers, requires either source or target buffer to be located
at a non-0 offet. To resolve this problem, patch 17 converts mgag200 from
VRAM helpers to SHMEM helpers. During plane updates, the content of the
SHMEM BO is memcpy'd to VRAM. From my subjective obersation, performance
is not nuch different from the original code.

The patchset has been tested on MGA G200EH hardware.
