[PATCH v2 0/7] drm: Add Support for Passive RGB to VGA bridges

Hi,

This serie is about adding support for the RGB to VGA bridge found in
the A13-Olinuxino and the CHIP VGA adapter.

Both these boards rely on an entirely passive bridge made out of
resitor ladders that do not require any initialisation. The only thing
needed is to get the timings from the screen if available (and if not,
fall back on XGA standards), set up the display pipeline to output on
the RGB bus with the proper timings, and you're done.

This serie also fixes a bunch of bugs uncovered when trying to
increase the resolution, and hence the pixel clock, of our
pipeline. It also fixes a few bugs in the DRM driver itself that went
unnoticed before.

Let me know what you think,
Maxime

Changes from v1:
  - Switch to using a vga-connector
  - Use drm_encoder bridge pointer instead of doing our own
  - Report the connector status as unknown instead of connected by
    default, and as connected only if we can retrieve the EDID.
  - Switch to of_i2c_get_adapter by node, and put the reference when done
  - Rebased on linux-next
