similar to: [PATCH] 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

cirrus_drv.h and cirrus_ttm.c are unused since commit ab3e023b1b4c ("drm/cirrus: rewrite and modernize driver"), apparently I ran "rm" instead of "git rm" on them so they are still in present the tree.

Move final cleanups from cirrus_pci_remove() to the new callback. Add drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() call to cirrus_pci_remove(). Use drm_dev_{enter,exit,unplug} to avoid touching hardware after device removal. v4: add changelog. v3: use drm_dev*. v2: stop touching hardware after pci_remove().

Update the cirrus driver to follow current best practices. While the driver's hardware is obsolete, the cirrus driver is still one of the go-to modules to learn about writing a DRM driver. So keep it in good shape. Patches 1 to 3 simplify blitting and convert it to the DRM's current helpers. Patches 4 to 8 replace simple-KMS helpers with DRM's regular atomic helpers. The former are

Move final cleanups from cirrus_pci_remove() to the new callback. Add drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() call to cirrus_pci_remove(). Set pointers to NULL after iounmap() and check them before using them to make sure we don't touch released hardware.

The problem with 24bpp is that it is a rather unusual depth these days, cirrus is pretty much the only relevant device still using that, and it is a endless source of issues. Wayland doesn't support it at all. Bugs in Xorg keep showing up. Typically either 32bpp or 16bpp are used. Using 32bpp would limit the resolution to 800x600 due to hardware constrains. So lets go with 16bpp. Also

Commit "f4bd542bca drm/fb-helper: Scale back depth to supported maximum" uncovered a bug in the cirrus driver. It must create its own primary plane, using the correct format list, depending on the bpp module parameter, so it is consistent with mode_config->preferred_depth.

Hi! While trying to get CLUT support for the atmel_hlcdc driver, and specifically for the emulated fbdev interface, I received some push-back that my feeble in-driver attempts should be solved by the core. This is my attempt to do it right. I have obviously not tested all of this with more than a compile, but patches 1 through 5 are enough to make the atmel-hlcdc driver do what I need. The rest
