This patchset adds generic fbdev emulation for drivers that supports GEM
based dumb buffers which support .gem_prime_vmap and gem_prime_mmap. An
API is begun to support in-kernel clients in general.
The CMA helper drivers is moved as a whole over to this generic fbdev
emulation. I've added patches 8 and 9 to show where it's heading.
tinydrm will be the first driver to use the full emulation when it moves
to vmalloc buffers. The CMA helper drivers will be converted one by one
later.
This work is based on an idea[1] by Laurent Pinchart:
Ideally I'd like to remove 100% of fbdev-related
code from drivers. This includes
- initialization and cleanup of fbdev helpers
- fbdev restore in last_close()
- forwarding of hotplug events to fbdev compatibility layer
