[PATCH v2 0/6] drm/st7571-i2c: add support for grayscale xrgb8888

The goal with this series is to add support for 2bit grayscale with
the xrgb8888 pixel format for the st7571 display controller.

The first patch only corrects a comment of the pixel format.

The next four patches adds support for inverting pixels. This is
necessary as the connected display may or may not use the "right" (0 =>
black, 1 => white) pixel format expected by the supported formats
(R1/R2/XRGB8888).

The fifth patch adds a helper function (drm_fb_xrgb8888_to_gray2) to
convert xrgb8888 to gray2.

The last path adds support for gray2 in the st7571 driver.
Compare the mono [1] and the gray2 [2] variants of our penguin.
