[PATCH 00/12] Enable display support for STM32MP25

This series aims to add and enable sufficient LVDS display support for
STM32MP257F-EV1 board.

LVDS is the default use case to drive a display panel on STM32MP257F-EV,
even though DSI panels will be supported in the near future.

The LTDC needs a pixel rate in sync with the bridge currently in use.
For that both DSI and LVDS bridges need to declare an internal clock and
become clock provider to the mux. The mux then selects the reference
clock for the LTDC pixel rate generation.

For now this mux is handled internally in the LTDC, while waiting for
the STM32 clock framework to merge a 'clk-mux' based on the SYSCFG.
This explains the link done in the patch [7/8] between the LVDS,
providing the reference clock for the LTDC internals.

  | LVDS PHY |------------->|  |          +------------+
  |          |clk_pix_lvds  |  |
  +----------+              |  |
                            |  |
   ck_ker_ltdc ------------>| /
                            |/|
                              └- SYSCFG

Clock selection applies as follow:
- 0b00: Selects ck_dsi_phy
- 0b01: Selects clk_pix_lvds
- 0b10: Selects ck_ker_ltdc (for parallel or DSI display).
- 0b11: Reserved

The reset value of the register controlling the mux is 0b01, meaning
that the default clock assigned is the clk_pix_lvds.  This causes two
things:

- In order to get basic display on the LVDS encoder, like intended,
nothing has to be done on this mux within the LTDC driver (which for now
explains the unused syscfg phandle on the LTDC node in the device-tree).

- 'pixel_clk' is dependent from 'clk_pix_lvds' because of the LTDC clock
domains.  They also need to be sync to get a coherent pixel rate though
the display clock tree (which explains the LVDS phandle on the LTDC node
in the device-tree).
