[PATCH v4 00/12] drm, coreboot: Add DRM coreboot driver

[Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>]

Coreboot implements framebuffer support via simple-framebuffer. Provide a
dedicated DRM driver. Keep the simple-framebuffer code for now.

For each firmware's provided framebuffer, we prefer a dedicated DRM driver
tailored towards the platform's feature set. The coreboot framebuffer
device currently creates a simple-framebuffer device for the provided
framebuffer aperture. But simple-framebuffer is for DeviceTree nodes; not
for coreboot. The simple-framebuffer infrastructure should be phased out
for non-DT use cases. Coreboot is one of the final users of the code
(besides n64).

Patches 1 to 5 start by fixing problems in the coreboot framebuffer
implementation. There is a possible dangling pointer, the memory is
marked as busy, the device hierarchy is incorrect, and a few minor things.

Patches 6 to 9 prepare the coreboot support for use by external drivers.
Specifically, structures for the entries os the coreboot payload table
have to be exported.

Patches 10 to 12 add corebootdrm, a DRM driver for the new
coreboot-framebuffer platform device. Corebootdrm follows the pattern
established by similar drivers. It also uses the same sysfb helpers. It
is therefore fairly small. With patch 11, it has feature parity with
simpledrm on the old simple-framebuffer. Patch 12 adds support for panel-
orientation flags that coreboot makes available.

Tested on an HP Chromebook with MrChromebox 4.16. Runs with Weston and
fbcon. Xorg requires an additional patch available at [1].

v4:
- sort include statements
- remove changelog from commit description in coreboot patch #9
v3:
- avoid packed types for coreboot headers
- comment in various places
- fix typos
v2:
- keep design of coreboot framebuffer code intact
- fix bugs in the coreboot framebuffer code
- rewrite corebootdrm as platform device
- support panel orientation
