[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 00/23] drm/fb-helper: Untangle fbdev emulation and helpers

Separate generic fbdev emulation from the helper code that is shared
among the various fbdev implementations within DRM. Affects many drivers.

It has become apparent that our fully generic fbdev emulation will
never produce optimal results for all drivers. In its current form,
it is also hard to maintain. The goal of this patchset is to improve
readability and streamline the fbdev helper code within DRM. In the
long term, we want to get to a point where drivers or memory managers
can pick and combine the various helpers for optimal fbdev support.

Patches 1 to 8 start by preparing drivers. Setting struct drm_driver's
lastclose and output_poll_changed is not required by generic fbdev
emulation.

Two drivers depend on fb helpers implicitly including other Linux header
files. Fixing this in patches 9 and 10 allows to remove unnecesary include
statements from the fb-helper header in patch 11.

Do some renaming in patches 12 to 14.

There are currently various implementation of the fbdev I/O helpers
with varying feature sets. The fb helpers for fbdev I/O should all call
fb_sync, which is what fbdev's internal implementation does. For DRM,
damage handling needs to be performed after updating a framebuffer. The
damage worker is part of the fb helpers, but the actual update logic only
works with generic fbdev emulation. Separate the two, which also gives
other drivers an option to set their own damage handling if neccessary.
The full-featured I/O helpers can be moved under a shared implementation
and called by all drivers. Patches 15 to 18 resolve these issues.

Patch 19 changes fbdev disablement to work at the level of display
detection. If disabled, generic fbdev emulation will be initialized,
but no display will be detected. It can later be enabled by changing
the parameter in sysfs and plugging in a connector.

Patches 20 to 22 move the generic fbdev emulation into their own source
and header files and clean up the include statements throughout DRM. Many
drivers only call drm_fbdev_generic_setup() and can avoid including other
Linux header files.

Patch 23 is a documentation update.

Built on x86-64, aarch64, arm, ppc64le. Tested with various combinations
of bochs, i915, simpledrm.

v3:
* documentation fixes (Javier)
* rename drm_fbdev.{c,h} to drm_fbdev_generic.{c,h}
* keep drm_leak_fbdev_smem in drm_fb_helper.c
* fix several include statements
* rebases
v2:
* fixed commit descriptions (Christian, Sergey)
