Rcar-du Initialization errors on Koelsch

Rcar-du Initialization errors on Koelsch

[Cao Minh Hiep]

Hi Laurent-san
I am Hiep from Jinzai Solution.

We have tested the linux ver 3.19 on Koelsch, we found some error 
messages from Rcar-Du as show below:
The error messages:
"[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
  rcar-du feb00000.display: Failed to initialize drm fb helper.
  rcar-du feb00000.display: failed to initialize DRM/KMS
  rcar-du: probe of feb00000.display failed with error -22"

Then, we find out these patches as below are causing of this bug:
0ee56d4 ARM: shmobile: koelsch: Enable DU device in DT
910343e ARM: shmobile: koelsch-reference: Remove DU platform device

Please see them when you have time!

Best Regards,
Jinso/Cao Minh Hiep.

This is due to the fact that no connector has been instantiated. The error 
message is pretty confusing, I'll submit a patch to make it clearer, but it 
won't fix the issue.

With the platform data based DU instantiation the Lager and Koelsch board file 
contained LVDS panel information, and the DU driver instantiated one LVDS 
connector. I wanted to replicate that when moving to DT, but the approach has 
been rejected during review due to the fact that the panel isn't part of the 
Lager and Koelsch boards, and thus shouldn't be described in r8a7790-lager.dts 
or r8a7791-koelsch.dts.

I've thus created a separate DT file (r8a77xx-aa104xd12-panel.dtsi) to 
describe the panel, which can be included directly in r8a7790-lager.dts or 
r8a7791-koelsch.dts as in the following patch.

Please note that the patch won't be upstreamed due to the reason explained 
above.
