[PATCH v4 0/7] drm/fbdev: Panel orientation connector property support

Hi All,

Here is v4 of my series to add a "panel orientation" property to
the drm-connector for the LCD panel to let userspace know about LCD
panels which are not mounted upright, as well as detecting upside-down
panels without needing quirks (like we do for 90 degree rotated screens).

New in v3:
-As requested by Daniel v3 moves the quirks over from the fbdev
subsys to the drm subsys. I've done this by simpy starting with a copy of
the quirk table and eventually removing the fbdev version.

New in v4:
-Fix drm_fb_helper code setting an invalid rotation value on the primary
plane of disabled/unused crtcs (caught by Fi.CI)

The 1st patch in this series is a small fbdev/fbcon patch, patches 2-5
are all drm patches since patches 2-5 depend on patch 1 I believe it
would be best to merge patches 1-5 through the drm tree.

For merging patches 6-7 I see 3 options:

1) Wait a kernel cycle, things will work fine without them, they are really
just there to remove the fbdev copy of the quirks

2) Merge all 7 patches through the drm tree

3) Use a stable tag in the drm tree which the fbdev tree can merge and then
merge patches 6-7 through the drm tree.

Regards,

Hans
