Rob Clark f5f9454c21 staging: drm/omap: use omapdss low level API
This patch changes the omapdrm KMS to bypass the omapdss "compat"
layer and use the core omapdss API directly.  This solves some layering
issues that would cause unpin confusion vs GO bit status, because we
would not know whether a particular pageflip or overlay update has hit
the screen or not.  Now instead we explicitly manage the GO bits in
dispc and handle the vblank/framedone interrupts ourself so that we
always know which buffers are being scanned out at any given time, and
so on.

As an added bonus, we no longer leave the last overlay buffer pinned
when the display is disabled, and have been able to add the previously
missing vblank event handling.

v1: original
v2: rebased on latest staging-next and omapdss patches from Tomi and
    review comments from Archit Taneja

TODO
. add video decode/encode support (via syslink3 + codec-engine)
. NOTE: with dmabuf this probably could be split into different driver
so perhaps this TODO doesn't belong here
. where should we do eviction (detatch_pages())? We aren't necessarily
accessing the pages via a GART, so maybe we need some other threshold
to put a cap on the # of pages that can be pin'd. (It is mostly only
of interest in case you have a swap partition/file.. which a lot of
these devices do not.. but it doesn't hurt for the driver to do the
right thing anyways.)
. Use mm_shrinker to trigger unpinning pages. Need to figure out how
to handle next issue first (I think?)
. Note TTM already has some mm_shrinker stuff.. maybe an argument to
move to TTM? Or maybe something that could be factored out in common?
. GEM/shmem backed pages can have existing mappings (kernel linear map,
etc..), which isn't really ideal.
. Revisit GEM sync object infrastructure.. TTM has some framework for this
already. Possibly this could be refactored out and made more common?
There should be some way to do this with less wheel-reinvention.
. Solve PM sequencing on resume. DMM/TILER must be reloaded before any
access is made from any component in the system. Which means on suspend
CRTC's should be disabled, and on resume the LUT should be reprogrammed
before CRTC's are re-enabled, to prevent DSS from trying to DMA from a
buffer mapped in DMM/TILER before LUT is reloaded.
