Eric Anholt 13dfc0540a drm/bridge: Refactor out the panel wrapper from the lvds-encoder bridge.
Many DRM drivers have common code to make a stub connector
implementation that wraps a drm_panel.  By wrapping the panel in a DRM
bridge, all of the connector code (including calls during encoder
enable/disable) goes away.

v2: Fix build with CONFIG_DRM=m, drop "dev" argument that should just
    be the panel's dev, move kerneldoc up a level and document
    _remove().
v3: Fix another breakage with CONFIG_DRM=m, fix breakage with
    CONFIG_OF=n, move protos under CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE, wrap a
    line.

Mode Setting Helper Functions
=============================
The DRM subsystem aims for a strong separation between core code and helper
libraries. Core code takes care of general setup and teardown and decoding
userspace requests to kernel internal objects. Everything else is handled by a
large set of helper libraries, which can be combined freely to pick and choose
for each driver what fits, and avoid shared code where special behaviour is
needed.
This distinction between core code and helpers is especially strong in the
modesetting code, where there's a shared userspace ABI for all drivers. This is
in contrast to the render side, where pretty much everything (with very few
exceptions) can be considered optional helper code.
There are a few areas these helpers can grouped into:
* Helpers to implement modesetting. The important ones here are the atomic
helpers. Old drivers still often use the legacy CRTC helpers. They both share
the same set of common helper vtables. For really simple drivers (anything
that would have been a great fit in the deprecated fbdev subsystem) there's
also the simple display pipe helpers.
* There's a big pile of helpers for handling outputs. First the generic bridge
helpers for handling encoder and transcoder IP blocks. Second the panel helpers
for handling panel-related information and logic. Plus then a big set of
helpers for the various sink standards (DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI DSI). Finally
there's also generic helpers for handling output probing, and for dealing with
EDIDs.
* The last group of helpers concerns itself with the frontend side of a display
pipeline: Planes, handling rectangles for visibility checking and scissoring,
flip queues and assorted bits.

HDMI Infoframes Helper Reference
================================
Strictly speaking this is not a DRM helper library but generally useable
by any driver interfacing with HDMI outputs like v4l or alsa drivers.
But it nicely fits into the overall topic of mode setting helper
libraries and hence is also included here.
