This series introduces support for the LogiCVC display controller.
The controller is a bit unusual since it is usually loaded as
programmable logic on Xilinx FPGAs or Zynq-7000 SoCs.
More details are presented on the main commit for the driver.

More information about the controller is available on the dedicated
web page: https://www.logicbricks.com/Products/logiCVC-ML.aspx

Note that this driver has rather simple connector management, which was
not converted to drm_panel_bridge to keep the ability to enable the panel
at first vblank but also to support DVI.

Change since v7:
- Replaced DRM_INFO/DRM_ERROR/DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER with fashions using drm_device;
- Fixed yaml binding alignment issue;
- Renamed logicvc-display name to the generic "display" name;
- Added patternProperties match for display in the parent mfd binding;
- Used drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state when needed;
- Checked mode in mode_valid instead of atomic_check;
- Switched to drmm_mode_config_init;
- Removed useless logicvc_connector_destroy wrapper;
- Removed useless drm_dev_put calls;
- Removed atomic_commit_tail that enables the panel and streamlined the logic;
- Reworked Makefile cosmetics;
- Fixed checkpatch issues.

Changes since v6:
- Updated to the latest DRM internal API changes; 
- Used an enum to index dt properties instead of the name string.

Changes since v5:
- Subclass DRM device and use devm_drm_dev_alloc for allocation;
- Removed call to drm_mode_config_cleanup (done automatically with devm);
- Some related code cleanups;
- Bring back not-for-merge patch adding colorkey support.

Changes since v4:
- Updated to internal DRM API changes (rebased on drm-misc-next);
- Added Kconfig dependency on OF;
- Added MAINTAINERS entry;
- Used drm_err and dev_err instead of DRM_ERROR where possible;
- Various cosmetic changes.

Changes since v3:
- Rebased on latest drm-misc;
- Improved event lock wrapping;
- Added collect tag;
- Added color-key support patch (not for merge, for reference only).

Changes since v2:
- Fixed and slightly improved dt schema.

Changes since v1:
- Switched dt bindings documentation to dt schema;
- Described more possible dt parameters;
- Added support for the lvds-3bit interface;
- Added support for grabbing syscon regmap from parent node;
- Removed layers count property and count layers child nodes instead.

nouveau already has something for colorkey:
https://drmdb.emersion.fr/properties/4008636142/colorkey

I know this is marked "not for merge", but it would be nice to discuss
with them and come up with a standardized property.

FWIW this is something I added, hoping it was going to get used at
some point, but I never followed up with support in xf86-video-nouveau
for Xv. At this point, I'm not sure I ever will. I encoded the
"enabled" part into the value with a high bit (1<<24) -- not sure that
was such a great idea. All NVIDIA hardware supports colorkey (and not
actual alpha, until the very latest GPUs - Volta/Turing families),
although my implementation only covers the pre-G80 series (i.e. DX9
and earlier GPUs - pre-2008). Should a determination of usefulness be
reached, it would be easy to implement on the remainder though.

Cheers,

Interesting to know!

Regarding a generic colorkey property, there was a discussion under thread:
drm: Add generic colorkey properties for display planes

and the latest proposal (RFC v4) can be found here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-tegra/patch/20180807172202.1961-2-digetx@gmail.com/

It looks like this was much more complex than anticipated and the series
was more or less abandonned. I didn't feel like picking it up in my logicvc
series so I kept the colorkey patch as not for merge.

If someone's up for picking the proposal and continuing the discussion,
I could provide insight on how it would fit with logicvc though!

Cheers,

Paul
