[RFC PATCH v4 02/11] drm/fb-helper: Set FBINFO_MISC_FIRMWARE flag for DRIVER_FIRMWARE fb

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The DRIVER_FIRMWARE flag denotes that a DRM driver uses a framebuffer
that was initialized and provided by the system firmware for scanout.

Indicate to the fbdev subsystem that the registered framebuffer is a
FBINFO_MISC_FIRMWARE, so that it can handle accordingly. For example,
wold hot-unplug the associated device if asked to remove conflicting
framebuffers.
