[PATCH v2 4/4] drm/verisilicon: add Nuvoton MA35D1 DCU Lite display controller support

The Nuvoton MA35D1 SoC integrates a Verisilicon DCU Lite display
controller.  While its register layout is broadly similar to the DC8200,
several differences require dedicated hardware ops:

1. No CONFIG_EX commit path: framebuffer updates use enable (bit 0) and
   reset (bit 4) bits in FB_CONFIG instead of the DC8200 staging registers
   (FB_CONFIG_EX, FB_TOP_LEFT, FB_BOTTOM_RIGHT, FB_BLEND_CONFIG,
   PANEL_CONFIG_EX).

2. No PANEL_START register: panel output starts when
   PANEL_CONFIG.RUNNING is set; no multi-display sync start register
   is used.

3. Different IRQ registers: DCU Lite uses DISP_IRQ_STA (0x147C) /
   DISP_IRQ_EN (0x1480) versus DC8200's TOP_IRQ_ACK (0x0010) /
   TOP_IRQ_EN (0x0014).

4. Per-frame commit cycle: DCU Lite requires the VALID bit in FB_CONFIG
   to be set at the start of each atomic commit (crtc_begin) and cleared
   after (crtc_flush).

5. Simpler clock topology: only "core" (bus gate) and "pix0" (pixel
   divider) clocks; no axi or ahb clocks.  Make axi_clk and ahb_clk
   optional (devm_clk_get_optional_enabled) so DCU Lite nodes without
   those clocks are handled gracefully.

Add vs_dcu_lite.c implementing the vs_dc_funcs vtable for the above
differences.  After chip identity detection, vs_dc_probe() now selects
vs_dcu_lite_funcs when the identified model is VSDC_MODEL_DCU_LITE
(model register reads 0, revision 0x5560, customer_id 0x305).

Extend Kconfig to allow building on ARCH_MA35 platforms.
