Make sure required hardware clocks are enabled while the firmware

The basic code has been taken from the simplefb driver and adapted
to DRM. Clocks are released automatically via devres helpers.

Even though it's definitely simpler to review, merging the driver first
and then the clocks and regulators will break bisection on the platforms
that rely on them

I'd like to keep the patches separate for now, but can squash patches 6 to 8
them into one before pushing them. OK?

Yep, that works for me :)


Another thing worth considering is also that both drivers will probe if
they are enabled (which is pretty likely), which is not great :)

I guess we should make them mutually exclusive through Kconfig

We already have several drivers in fbdev and DRM that handle the same
hardware. We don't do this for any other pair, why bother now?

Yeah, but simplefb/simpledrm are going to be enabled pretty much
everywhere, as opposed to the other drivers that are more specialized.

Well, OK. But I'd like to give simpledrm preference over simplefb. There should be an incentive to switch to DRM.

Best regards
Thomas
