Add fbdev helpers for framebuffers in DMA-able memory and update
fbdev emulation in the respective DRM drivers. DMA memory used to
handled as system memory. Improve this and prepare for possible
future changes.
Patch 1 adds initializer macros for struct fb_ops and a Kconfig
token for framebuffers in DMA memory.
Patches 2 to 5 update fbdev-dma and tegra. No functional changes
are expected as both used system memory before.
Patches 6 and 7 update exynos to use DMA helpers. Exynos incorrectly
used fbdev's I/O-memory helpers. Fix this.
Patches 8 to 10 update omapdrm to use DMA helpers. Patch 7 first
reworks the driver's mmap to current best practices. This also makes
it suitable for use with fbdev, which patches 8 and 9 implement.
Patchies 11 removes some fbdev macros for system memory that are now
unused; patch 12 fixes some comments.
The patchset would ideally go through drm-misc-next. Future patches
can build upon it and update fbdev drivers in similar ways.
v3:
* set screen_buffer in tegra (Thierry)
v2:
* fix omap mmap flags
* drop FBINFO_DEFAULT from patches
* minor cleanups
