[PATCH v2] drm: lcdif: Set and enable FIFO Panic threshold

In case the LCDIFv3 is used to drive a 4k panel via i.MX8MP HDMI bridge,
the LCDIFv3 becomes susceptible to FIFO underflows, these lead to nasty
flicker of the image on the panel, or image being shifted by half frame
horizontally every second frame. The flicker can be easily triggered by
running 3D application on top of weston compositor, like neverball or
chromium. Surprisingly glmark2-es2-wayland or glmark2-es2-drm does not
trigger this effect so easily.

Configure the FIFO Panic threshold register and enable the FIFO Panic
mode, which internally boosts the NoC interconnect priority for LCDIFv3
transactions in case of possible underflow. This mitigates the flicker
effect on 4k panels as well.

Fixes: 9db35bb349a0 ("drm: lcdif: Add support for i.MX8MP LCDIF variant")

V2: - Include bitfield.h to always obtain FIELD_PREP definition
    - Rename PANIC0_THRES_RANGE to PANIC0_THRES_MAX and set to 511
    - Move threshold configuration and enable before FIFO and
      scanout enable and vice versa for disable
