[PATCH v3 0/6] Generic USB Display driver

[Noralf Trønnes]

Hi,

A while back I had the idea to turn a Raspberry Pi Zero into a $5
USB to HDMI/SDTV/DSI/DPI display adapter.

This series adds a USB host driver and a device/gadget driver to achieve
that.

The reason for calling it 'Generic' is so anyone can make a USB
display/adapter against this driver, all that's needed is to add a USB
vid:pid. I have done a microcontroller implementation hack just to see
how that would work out[1] (which unconvered a couple of bugs in the
host driver).

The contents of the previous cover letter has been moved to the wiki[2]
since it was getting rather long.

I've made an image[3] with the gadget side set up for the Raspberry Pi
for easy testing. Patch 4 is the only one needed for the host side.

Merge plan
I'm hoping to apply the remaining drm_client patches in time for 5.9.
With that in place it's much easier to apply the patch for the USB
subsystem the following merge window (5.10). Doing both in the same
cycle is possible ofc, but due to the high rate of change in DRM this
_can_ turn out to be tricky. There's no hurry to get the gadget side
merged since I will provide images for the Raspberry Pi. The host driver
I hope to apply in time for 5.9.
Reviews and testing are very much welcome!

Changes since version 2:
- Use donated Openmoko USB pid: 1d50:614d
- Use direct compression from framebuffer when pitch matches, not only
  on full frames, so split updates can benefit
- Use __le16 in struct gud_drm_req_get_connector_status
- Set edid property when the device only provides edid
- Clear compression fields in struct gud_drm_req_set_buffer
- Fix protocol version negotiation
- Remove mode->vrefresh, it's calculated
- drm_client_init_from_id(): remove locking
- Applied reviewed patches, thanks Sam.

Dependency:
- backlight: Add backlight_device_get_by_name()[4]
