UPSTREAM: drm: Add client-agnostic setup helper
[ Upstream commit d07fdf92 ] DRM may support multiple in-kernel clients that run as soon as a DRM driver has been registered. To select the client(s) in a single place, introduce drm_client_setup(). Drivers that call the new helper automatically instantiate the kernel's configured default clients. Only fbdev emulation is currently supported. Later versions can add support for DRM-based logging, a boot logo or even a console. Some drivers handle the color mode for clients internally. Provide the helper drm_client_setup_with_color_mode() for them. Using the new interface requires the driver to select DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION in its Kconfig. For now this only enables the client-setup helpers if the fbdev client has been configured by the user. A future patchset will further modularize client support and rework DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION to select the correct dependencies for all its clients. v5: - add CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION und DRM_CLIENT_SETUP v4: - fix docs for drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() (Geert) v3: - fix build error v2: - add drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() (Laurent) - push default-format handling into actual clients Change-Id: I78a2e4fec8c831d13a16a66f57a91e2e7a6fc1c5 Signed-off-by:Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by:
