The MCDE driver differentiates only between "te_sync"
(for hardware TE0 sync) and software sync
(i.e. manually triggered updates) at the moment.
However, none of these options work correctly for video mode panels.
Therefore, we need to make some changes to make them work correctly:
- Select hardware sync coming from the (DSI) formatter.
- Keep the FIFO permanently enabled (otherwise MCDE will stop
feeding data to the panel).
- Skip manual software sync (this is not necessary in video mode).
Automatically detect if the connected panel is using video mode
and enable the necessary changes in that case.

This adds a new DRM driver for the ST-Ericsson Multi Channel
Display Engine, MCDE display controller.
This hardware has three independent DSI hosts and can composit
and display several memory buffers onto an LCD display. It
was developed for several years inside of ST-Ericsson and
shipped with a few million mobile phones from Sony and Samsung,
as well as with the Snowball community development board.
The driver is currently pretty rudimentary but supports a
simple framebuffer so we can get penguins and graphics when
using these SoCs.
