[PATCH v3 0/9] arch,sysfb,efi: Support EDID on non-x86 EFI systems

[Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>]

Replace screen_info and edid_info with sysfb_primary_device of type
struct sysfb_display_info. Update all users. Then implement EDID support
in the kernel EFI code.

Sysfb DRM drivers currently fetch the global edid_info directly, when
they should get that information together with the screen_info from their
device. Wrapping screen_info and edid_info in sysfb_primary_display and
passing this to drivers enables this.

Replacing both with sysfb_primary_display has been motivate by the EFI
stub. EFI wants to transfer EDID via config table in a single entry.
Using struct sysfb_display_info this will become easily possible. Hence
accept some churn in architecture code for the long-term improvements.

Patches 1 and 2 reduce the exposure of screen_info in EFI-related code.

Patch 3 adds struct sysfb_display_info.

Patch 4 replaces scren_info with sysfb_primary_display. This results in
several changes throught the kernel, but is really just a refactoring.

Patch 5 updates sysfb to transfer sysfb_primary_display to the related
drivers.

Patch 6 moves edid_info into sysfb_primary_display. This resolves some
drivers' reference to the global edid_info, but also makes the EDID data
available on non-x86 architectures.

Patches 7 and 8 add support for EDID transfers on non-x86 EFI systems.

Patch 9 cleans up the config-table allocation to be easier to understand.

v3:
- replace SCREEN_INFO table entry (Ard)
- merge libstub patch into kernel patch
v2:
- combine v1 of the series at [1] plus changes from [2] and [3].
