[PATCH v2 00/14] drm/ast: Refactor the device-detection code

Ast's code for detecting the device type and features is convoluted.
It mixes up several state fields, chip types and sub-models. Rework
the driver into something more understandable.

Patches 1 fixes a long-standing bug. The affected code has never
worked correctly.

Patches 2 to 8 make various changes to the init code, or remove dead
and duplicated code paths.

Patch 9 introduces chip generations. Until now, ast used the value
of enum ast_chip to represent a certain set of related modes, and
also used the enum to represent individal models. This makes the
driver code hard to understand in certain places. The patch encodes
a chip generation in each model enum and converts the driver to use
it.

Patches 10 to 12 replace duplicated model checks with the correct
enum value. Detection of wide-screen functionality and the transmitter
chip can then be moved into individual functions in patch 13.

Patch 14 merges the detection of the silicon revision and the chip
model into a single function. Both need to be done in the same place
and affect each other.

Tested on AST1100 and AST2300.

v2:
	* use standard 16-bit PCI access (Jingfeng)
	* various cleanups
