drm/cirrus: rewrite and modernize driver.
Time to kill some bad sample code people are copying from ;) This is a complete rewrite of the cirrus driver. The cirrus_mode_set() function is pretty much the only function which is carried over largely unmodified. Everything else is upside down. It is a single monster patch. But given that it does some pretty fundamental changes to the drivers workflow and also reduces the code size by roughly 70% I think it'll still be alot easier to review than a longish baby-step patch series. Changes summary: - Given the small amout of video memory (4 MB) the cirrus device has the rewritten driver doesn't try to manage buffers there. Instead it will blit (memcpy) the active framebuffer to video memory. - All gem objects are stored in main memory and are manged using the new shmem helpers. ttm is out. - It supports RG16, RG24 and XR24 formats. XR24 gets converted to RG24 or RG16 at blit time if needed, to avoid the pitch becoming larger than what the cirrus hardware can handle. - The simple display pipeline is used. - The generic fbdev emulation is used. - It's a atomic driver now. - It runs wayland.
