[PATCH v3 00/15] drm/mgag200: Convert to atomic modesetting

This patchset converts mgag200 to atomic modesetting. It uses simple
KMS helpers and SHMEM. I'm posting v3 mostly for reference. These patches
will land soon if no one objects.

Patch 1 removes cursor support. The HW cursor is not usable with the
way universal planes work.

Patches 2 to 11 untangle the existing modesetting code into smaller
functions. Specifically, mode setting and plane updates are being
separated from each other.

Patch 12 to 14 convert mgag200 to simple KMS helpers and enables atomic
mode setting.

Atomically switching plane framebuffers, requires either source or target
buffer to be located at a non-0 offet. As some HW revisions seem to require
a framebuffer offset of 0 within the video memory, they do not work with
atomic modesetting. To resolve this problem, patch 15 converts mgag200
from VRAM helpers to SHMEM helpers. During plane updates, the content of
the SHMEM BO is memcpy'd to VRAM. From my observation, performance is not
nuch different from the original code.

The patchset has been tested on MGA G200EH hardware.

v3:
	* update commit messages
	* remove unused defines
v2:
	* rebase patchset
	* replace uint{8,32}_t with u{8,32} through-out patchset
	* define additional register constants
	* use helper functions around bpp-shift computations
	* split conversion patch
	* keep busy-waiting in DPMS code
	* cleanups
