Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mx3fb: support pan display with fb_set_var

Users may call FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctrl to do pan display.
This ioctrl relies on fb_set_var() to do the job. fb_set_var() calls custom fb_set_par() method and then calls custom
fb_pan_display() method. The current implementation of mx3fb reinitializes IPU display controller every time the custom
fb_set_par() method is called, which makes the display flash if fb_set_var() is called to do panning frequently. The custom
fb_pan_display() method checks if the current xoffset and yoffset are different from previous ones before doing actual panning, which prevents the panning from happening within the
fb_set_var() context. This patch checks new var info to decide whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller.
We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to reinialize the controller by force. Meanwhile, this patch removes the check in custom fb_pan_display() method mentioned before to have the panning work within fb_set_var() context. It doesn't hurt to do panning again if there is no update for xoffset and yoffset.
