[PATCH V2] video: implement a simple framebuffer driver

We don't seem to have a well-defined path to travel here, and I don't
get the feeling that anyone has signed up to walk it?
So I'm inclined to merge Stephen's patch as-is into 3.10. It's pretty
simple and standalone. Any strenuous objections?
BTW, Olof told me off-list that this patch is a "critical piece" for
running mainline Linux on ARM Chromebooks. That was important
information - more important than anything else we were told about this
patch!
So Stephen, could I please have a new changelog for this patch which
explains this application, and any other interesting/important things
which were left out? Quickly, please.

Subject: drivers/video: implement a simple framebuffer driver
A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered
to, with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up
to scan out from that buffer.
This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the
display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display
hardware.

+Simple Framebuffer
+
+A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to,
+with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan
+out from that buffer.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
+- reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory.
+- width: The width of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- height: The height of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- stride: The number of bytes in each line of the framebuffer.
+- format: The format of the framebuffer surface. Valid values are:
+ - r5g6b5 (16-bit pixels, d[15:11]=r, d[10:5]=g, d[4:0]=b).
+
+Example:
+
+ framebuffer {
+ compatible = "simple-framebuffer";
+ reg = <0x1d385000 (1600 * 1200 * 2)>;
+ width = <1600>;
+ height = <1200>;
+ stride = <(1600 * 2)>;
+ format = "r5g6b5";
+ };
