[PATCH v2 00/19] drm,fbdev: Use fbdev's I/O helpers

[Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>]

Make fbdev's built-in helpers for reading and writing I/O and system
memory available to DRM. Replace DRM's internal helpers.

The first 13 patches and patch 15 fix the use of screen_base and
screen_buffer. A number of drivers mix them up.

Patch 14 resolves a bug that's been in the fbdev code for more than
15 years. Makes the read/write helpers work successfully with the IGT
tests.

Patches 16 and 17 streamline fbdev's file-I/O code and remove a few
duplicate checks.

Patch 18 moves the default-I/O code into the new helpers fb_io_read()
and fb_io_write(); patch 19 uses them in DRM. This allows us to remove
quite a bit of code from DRM's internal fbdev helpers.

Tested with i915 and simpledrm.

The next step here is to remove the drm_fb_helper_{cfb,sys}_*()
entirely. They where mostly introduced because fbdev doesn't protect
it's public interfaces with an CONFIG_FB preprocessor guards. But all
of DRM driver's fbdev emulation won't be build without CONFIG_FB, so
this is not an issue in practice. Removing the DRM wrappers will
further simplify the DRM code.

v2:
	* fix screen_base vs. screen_buffer usage
	* fix copy_{from,to}_user() return value (Geert)
	* use fb_io_() prefix (Geert)
	* improved commit messages
