[PATCH 0/4] drm/ast: cursor: Improve format handling

[Thomas Zimmermann]

A number of generally useful updates to the cursor code.

The cursor code performs format conversion to the hardware's ARGB444
format and calculation of a checksum in a single function. Patch 1
splits this into two steps. Patch 2 then implements the format
conversion with DRM's format helpers. Other drivers can now reuse
the code.

With the format handling separated, patch 3 adds support for
ARGB4444, which is the hardware's native format.

Patch 4 moves cursor handling into a separate source file.

Tested on AST2600.
