Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet LCD panels and a
display engine which cannot (transparently) rotate in hardware, so we
need to rotate things in software / let user space deal with this.
The fbcon code has a set of DMI based quirks to automatically detect
such tablet LCD panels and rotate the fbcon to compensate.
The plan was for userspace (e.g. a Wayland compositor) to simply read
/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate and apply the rotation from there to
the LCD panel to compensate.
However this will not work when an external monitor gets plugged in,
since with fbcon rotation is not per output, so the fbcon quirk code
disables the rotation when an external monitor is present.
Using /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate will not help in that case
since it will indicate no rotation is in use. So instead we are going
to need a drm connecter property for this.
This commit is a preparation patch for adding the drm-connecter
property, by making the fbcon quirk code generally usable so that
the drm code can use it to check for rotation quirks.
Note this commit re-uses the FB_CMDLINE Kconfig option for selecting
if the quirk code should be build, since that is already selected by
both the drm and fbcon code.
