Summary:
- Add code cleanups and bug fixups.
- Add a new display controller dirver, DECON which is a new display
controller of Exynos7 SoC. This device is much different from
FIMD of Exynos4 and Exynos4 SoC series.

This patch is based on exynos-drm-next branch of Inki Dae's tree at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos.git
DECON(Display and Enhancement Controller) is the new IP
in exynos7 SOC for generating video signals using pixel data.
DECON driver can be used to drive 2 different interfaces on Exynos7:
DECON-INT(video controller) and DECON-EXT(Mixer for HDMI)
The existing FIMD driver code was used as a template to create
DECON driver. Only DECON-INT is supported as of now, and
DECON-EXT support will be added later.
The current version of the driver supports video mode displays.
Changelog v2:
- Change config name, DRM_EXYNOS_DECON to DRM_EXYNOS7_DECON.

The exynos_plane_dpms function handles enabled flag of exynos plane and
calls internal hw driver callback function for hw overlay on/off. But
it causes state disharmory problem currently and is will be obstacle to
apply atomic operation later to keep non-standard per-plane dpms state
like enabled flag.
Let's remove enabled flag, it just stop to recall internal callback
function but hw drivers can handle it properly. And call internal
callback function directly then we can remove unnecessary
exynos_plane_dpms function

exynos_plane_dpms(DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON) calls the win_enable()'s callback
from the underlying layer. However neither one of these layers implement
win_enable() - FIMD, Mixer and VIDI. Thus the call to exynos_plane_dpms()
is pointless.

The Exynos DRM driver doesn't follow the correct API when dealing with
dma_{alloc, mmap, free}_attrs functions and the
DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute.
When a IOMMU is not available and the DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING is
used, the driver should use the pointer returned by dma_alloc_attr() as
a cookie.
The Exynos DRM driver directly uses the non-requested virtual kernel
address returned by the DMA mapping subsystem. This just works now
because the non-IOMMU codepath doesn't obey DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING
but we need to fix it before fixing the DMA layer.

drm: Add multi buffer plane pixel formats
which hasn't seen a lot of review really. The problem is that it's not
a real pixel format, but just a different way to lay out NV12 pixels
in macroblocks, i.e. a tiling format.
The new way of doing this is with the soon-to-be-merged fb modifiers.
This was brough up in some long irc discussion around the entire
topic, as an example of where things have gone wrong. Luckily we can
correct the mistake:
- The kms side support for NV12MT is all dead code because
format_check in drm_crtc.c never accepted NV12MT.
- The gem side for the gsc support doesn't look better: The code
forgets to set the pixel format and makes a big mess with the tiling
mode bits, inadvertedly setting them all.
Conclusion: This never really worked (at least not in upstream) and
hence we can safely correct our mistake here.

struct exynos_drm_overlay has no practical advantage nor serves as
important piece of the exynos API design. The only place it was used
was inside the struct exynos_plane which was just causing a extra
access overhead. Users had to access the overlay first and just then
get the plane information it contains.
This patch merges struct exynos_drm_overlay into struct exynos_plane.
It also renames struct exynos_plane to struct exynos_drm_plane.
The rational is to cut one step to access plane information.

interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of

- Initial atomic modesetting work
The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year. No more,
the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
are in this tree. Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.
