[Intel-gfx] [RFC v2 0/8] drm: Add generic fbdev emulation

[Noralf Trønnes]

This patchset explores the possibility of having generic fbdev emulation
in DRM for drivers that supports dumb buffers which they can export.

Chris pointed out a bug in the previous version. I've solved this by
deferring buffer creation until fb_ops->fb_open. This works fine for
fbcon as well, since the first thing it does is to call fb_open.

I also had to export some functions for modular builds.

Noralf.

Changes since version 1:
- Don't add drm_fb_helper_fb_open() and drm_fb_helper_fb_release() to
  DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS(). (Fi.CI.STATIC)
  The following uses that macro and sets fb_open/close: udlfb_ops,
  amdgpufb_ops, drm_fb_helper_generic_fbdev_ops, nouveau_fbcon_ops,
  nouveau_fbcon_sw_ops, radeonfb_ops.
  This results in: warning: Initializer entry defined twice
- Support CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m (kbuild test robot)
  ERROR: <function> [drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko] undefined!
- Drop buggy patch: (Chris Wilson)
  drm/prime: Clear drm_gem_object->dma_buf on release
- Defer buffer creation until fb_open.
