A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered
to, with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set
up to scan out from that buffer.
This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the
display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display
hardware.
Examples use-cases include:
* The built-in LCD panels on the Samsung ARM chromebook, and Tegra
devices, and likely many other ARM or embedded systems. These cannot
yet be supported using a full graphics driver, since the panel control
should be provided by the CDF (Common Display Framework), which has been
stuck in design/review for quite some time. One could support these
panels using custom SoC-specific code, but there is a desire to use
common infra-structure rather than having each SoC vendor invent their
own code, hence the desire to wait for CDF.
* Hardware for which a full graphics driver is not yet available, and
the path to obtain one upstream isn't yet clear. For example, the
Raspberry Pi.
* Any hardware in early stages of upstreaming, before a full graphics
driver has been tackled. This driver can provide a graphical boot
console (even full X support) much earlier in the upstreaming process,
thus making new SoC or board support more generally useful earlier.

This patch simplifies videomode related Kconfig and Makefile. After this
patch, there's only one non-user selectable Kconfig option left,
VIDEOMODE_HELPERS. The reasons for the change:
* Videomode helper functions are not something that should be shown in
the kernel configuration options. The related code should just be
included if it's needed, i.e. selected by drivers using videomode.
* There's no need to have separate Kconfig options for videomode and
display_timing. First of all, the amount of code for both is quite
small. Second, videomode depends on display_timing, and display_timing
in itself is not really useful, so both would be included in any case.
* CONFIG_VIDEOMODE is a bit vague name, and CONFIG_VIDEOMODE_HELPERS
describes better what's included.

Add mmp display subsystem to support Marvell MMP display controllers.
This subsystem contains 4 parts:
--fb folder
--core.c
--hw folder
--panel folder
1. fb folder contains implementation of fb. fb get path and overlay
from common interface and operates on these structures.
2. core.c provides common interface for a hardware abstraction. Major
parts of this interface are:
a) Path: path is a output device connected to a panel or HDMI TV. Main
operations of the path is set/get timing/output color. fb operates
output device through path structure.
b) Ovly: Ovly is a buffer shown on the path.
Ovly describes frame buffer and its source/destination size, offset,
input color, buffer address, z-order, and so on. Each fb device maps
to one overlay.
3. hw folder contains implementation of hardware operations defined by
core.c. It registers paths for fb use.
4. panel folder contains implementation of panels. It's connected to
path. Panel drivers would also regiester panels and linked to path
when probe.

Framebuffer support for the Goldfish emulator. This takes the Google
emulator and applies the x86 cleanups as well as moving the blank
methods to the usual Linux place and dropping the Android early suspend
logic (for now at least, that can be looked at as Android and upstream
converge). Dropped various oddities like setting MTRRs on a virtual
frame buffer emulation...
With the drivers so far you can now boot a Linux initrd and have fun.

Add display_timing structure and the according helper functions. This allows
the description of a display via its supported timing parameters.
Also, add helper functions to convert from display timings to a generic videomode
structure.
The struct display_timing specifies all needed parameters to describe the signal
properties of a display in one mode. This includes
- ranges for signals that may have min-, max- and typical values
- single integers for signals that can be on, off or are ignored
- booleans for signals that are either on or off
As a display may support multiple modes like this, a struct display_timings is
added, that holds all given struct display_timing pointers and declares the
native mode of the display.
Although a display may state that a signal can be in a range, it is driven with
fixed values that indicate a videomode. Therefore graphic drivers don't need all
the information of struct display_timing, but would generate a videomode from
the given set of supported signal timings and work with that.
The video subsystems all define their own structs that describe a mode and work
with that (e.g. fb_videomode or drm_display_mode). To slowly replace all those
various structures and allow code reuse across those subsystems, add struct
videomode as a generic description.
This patch only includes the most basic fields in struct videomode. All missing
fields that are needed to have a really generic video mode description can be
added at a later stage.

Intel740 graphics cards and adaptation for recent kernels. The old driver by
Andrey Ulanov is located at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/i740fbdev/files/
This is a new driver based on skeletonfb, using most of the low level HW code
from the old driver. The DDC code is completely new.
