[PATCH 00/21] drm/fb-helper: Untangle fbdev emulation and helpers

Separate generic fbdev emulation from the helper code that is shared
among the various fbdev implementations within DRM. Affects many drivers.

The goal of this patchset is to improve readability and streamline the
fbdev helper code within DRM. In the long term, we want to get to a point
where drivers or memory managers can pick and combine the various helpers
for optimal fbdev support.

Patches 1 to 8 start by preparing drivers. Setting lastclose is not
required by generic fbdev emulation.

Two drivers depend on fb helpers implicitly including other Linux header
files. Fixing this in patches 9 and 10 allows to remove unnecesary include
statements from the fb-helper header in patch 11.

Do some renaming in patches 12 to 14.

There are currently various implementation of the fbdev I/O helpers
with varying feature sets. The fb helpers for fbdev I/O should all call
fb_sync, which is what fbdev's internal implementation does. For DRM,
damage handling needs to be performed after updating a framebuffer. The
damage worker is part of the fb helpers, but the actual update logic only
works with generic fbdev emulation. Separate the two, which also gives
other drivers an option so set their own damage handling if neccessary.
The full-featured I/O helpers can be moved under a shared implementation
and called by all drivers. Patches 15 to 18 resolve these issues.

Patch 19 changes fbdev disablement to work at the level of display
detection. If disabled, generic fbdev emulation will be initialized,
but no display will be detected. It can later be enabled by changing
the parameter in sysfs and plugging in a connector.

Patches 20 and 21 move the generic fbdev emulation into their own source
and header files and clean up the include statements throughout DRM.
Many drivers only call drm_fbdev_generic_setup() and can avoid including
other Linux header files.

Built on x86-64, aarch64, arm, ppc64le. Tested with various combinations
of bochs, radeon, simpledrm.
