[PATCH 00/11] drm/rockchip: add support for lvds controller and external encoders

This series adds support for the lvds encoder present on rk3288 soc and
allows external connectors to use the generic rgb pins.

On the older socs (rk3188, rk3066, etc) these pins where accessible by
anyone, while on the rk3288 the lvds controller controls access to them.

So while on the old socs an external encoder was explicitly connected
to one of the two lcd-controllers, on the rk3288 the lvds in between
can toggle which controller should be the source.

To facilitate this the lvds encoder can use two modes. When a panel is
attached it acts as encoder and without panel it just registers a bridge
that can be used later.

The bridge association to an encoder is done via a rockchip,rgb-bridge
property in the encoder node itself and handled in rockchip_drm_load
to not leak rockchip-specific handling into generic encoder drivers.


As example on how this can work, I've included a driver for simple
(dumb) vga encoders, like the adv7123 (and clones) as used on the
rk3288-firefly board. This same encoder is used on the Rayeager-px2
board but there connected directly to the rgb pins of the rk3066
which will hopefully also be supported in the future.

I've named this currently vga-simply (inspired by panel-simple), because
so far I have found the adv7123 (and two clones) but I guess there will
be more dumb vga encoders around that only differ in minimal things.


Similarly, most of the rk3288-based TV-boxes use a rk1000 i2c tv encoder
connected in a similar way - and again directly connected on the
rk3188-radxarock.


Caveats:
- the i2c subdirectory is probably not the right one for my vga encoder
  so if somebody could suggest where this should live, I'd be very happy
- I'm not sure if I'm abusing some drm-APIs in a wrong way :-)
