[RFC/RFT PATCH 0/4] drm/bridge: dw-hdmi: Add support for Custom PHYs

The Amlogic GX SoCs implements a Synopsys DesignWare HDMI TX Controller
in combination with a very custom PHY.

Thanks to Laurent Pinchart's changes, the HW report the following :
 Detected HDMI TX controller v2.01a with HDCP (Vendor PHY)

The following differs from common PHY integration as managed in the current
driver :
 - Amlogic PHY is not configured through the internal I2C link
 - Amlogic PHY do not use the ENTMDS, SVSRET, PDDQ, ... signals from the controller
 - Amlogic PHY do not export HPD ands RxSense signals to the controller

And finally, concerning the controller integration :
 - the Controller registers are not flat memory-mapped, and uses an
    addr+read/write register pair to write all registers.
 - Inputs only YUV444 pixel data

This is why the following patchset implements :
 - Conversion to regmap for register access
 - Add more callbacks ops to handle Custom PHYs
 - Configure the Input format from the plat_data
 - Fixes a bug that considers the input to be always RBG and sends bad pixel
   format to a DVI sink by disabling CSC

This patchset makes the Amlogix GX SoCs HDMI output successfully work, but I
do not have access to Renesas, i.MX or RockChip SoCs to test against
potentiel regressions, like the regmap conversion.

This patchset is based on the latest Laurent Pinchart dw-hdmi serie at [1].
