* drm: Add panel supportThierry Reding2013-12-171-0/+100
Add a very simple framework to register and lookup panels. Panel drivers can initialize a DRM panel and register it with the framework, allowing them to be retrieved and used by display drivers. Currently only support for DPMS and obtaining panel modes is provided. However it should be sufficient to enable a large number of panels. The framework should also be easily extensible to support more sophisticated kinds of panels such as DSI. The framework hasn't been tied into the DRM core, even though it should be easily possible to do so if that's what we want. In the current implementation, display drivers can simple make use of it to retrieve a panel, obtain its modes and control its DPMS mode. Note that this is currently only tested on systems that boot from a device tree. No glue code has been written yet for systems that use platform data, but it should be easy to add.
