[PATCH v3 0/3] drm: Allow simpledrm to setup its emulated FB as firmware provided

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

This series contain patches suggested by Thomas Zimmermann as a feedback for
"[RFC PATCH v4 00/11] Fix some race between sysfb device registration and
drivers probe" [0].

Since other changes in [0] were more controversial, I decided to just split
this part in a new patch-set and revisit the rest of the patches later.

This is a v2 that addresses issues pointed out in v1.

Patch #1 is just a cleanup since when working on this noticed that some DRM
drivers were passing as preferred bits per pixel to drm_fbdev_generic_setup()
the value that is the default anyways.

Patch #2 renames the 'preferred_bpp' drm_fbdev_generic_setup() parameter to
'options', and make this a multi field parameter so that it can be extended
later to pass other options as well.

Patch #3 finally adds the new DRM_FB_FW option and makes simpledrm to use it
so that the registered framebuffer device is also marked as firmware provided.

The patches were tested on a rpi4 board with the vc4 DRM driver built as a
module and either simplefb or simpledrm built-in.

Changes in v3:
- Drop the preferred_bpp local variable (Laurent Pinchart).
- Add a const qualifier to options parameter (Laurent Pinchart).
- Drop the firmware local variable (Laurent Pinchart).
- Use DRM_FB_OPTION() since DRM_FB_SET_OPTION() got renamed (kernel test robot).

Changes in v2:
- Rename DRM_FB_SET_OPTION() to DRM_FB_OPTION() and make more clear in
  the kernel-doc what this macro does (Laurent Pinchart).
- Fix some kernel-doc issues I didn't notice in v1.
- Add Reviewed-by tags from Thomas and Laurent.
