[PATCH v2 00/13] drm: Fix color-format selection in fbdev emulation

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Fix the selection of the fbdev emulation's color format and make
XRGB8888 the only emulated color format. Resolves the blank screen
in cases where video= specifies an unsupported color format. Also
resolves the issues around current format-conversion helpers.

Version 2 of the patchset fixes the format-helper test cases on
big-endian platforms. This involves some changes to existing tests
as well.

DRM drivers usually pick a default format for their fbdev emulation.
Via the kernel's video= parameter, users can specify a different
format. If the given format is unsupported by the driver, the fbdev
console screen remains dark. As the console is essential to many
systems, not displaying anything is to be avoided.

Patch 1 fixes the detection of the firmware's native color format.
The meaning of several color parameters is inconsistent among Linux
and various standards. Take this into account.

Patches 2 to 5 fix the existing conversion helpers and test cases
for big-endian platforms. These patches are new in version 2 of the
patcheset.

As drivers are supposed to provide XRGB8888 as a default fallback
format, provide XRGB8888 conversion helpers in patches 6 to 9. The
new helpers handle cases where the client uses a XRGB8888 frambuffer
and the display scanout buffer uses a different format. All scanout
formats of the simplefb infrastructure should now be covered. The
patchse also extend the Kunit tests for the new formats.

With format conversion in place, patches 10 and 11 fix the single-probe
function's format selection. The helper now goes over the given video=
parameters until it finds a compatible format. If none is found, the
uses driver's default format.

Patches 12 and 13 clean up DRM code in drivers and helpers.

Tested on x86-64 with EFI output and x86 with various VESA color
modes. Also tested on ppc64 with OF output.
