flushing out gvt-g fixes

First slice of drm-misc-next for 4.12:

Core/subsystem-wide:
- link status core patch from Manasi, for signalling link train fail
  to userspace. I also had the i915 patch in here, but that had a
  small buglet in our CI, so reverted.
- more debugfs_remove removal from Noralf, almost there now (Noralf
  said he'll try to follow up with the stragglers).
- drm todo moved into kerneldoc, for better visibility (see
  Documentation/gpu/todo.rst), lots of starter tasks in there.
- devm_ of helpers + use it in sti (from Ben Gaignard, acked by Rob
  Herring)
- extended framebuffer fbdev support (for fbdev flipping), and vblank
  wait ioctl fbdev support (Maxime Ripard)
- misc small things all over, as usual
- add vblank callbacks to drm_crtc_funcs, plus make lots of good use
  of this to simplify drivers (Shawn Guo)
- new atomic iterator macros to unconfuse old vs. new state

Small drivers:
- vc4 improvements from Eric
- vc4 kerneldocs (Eric)!
- tons of improvements for dw-mipi-dsi in rockchip from John Keeping
  and Chris Zhong.
- MAINTAINERS entries for drivers managed in drm-misc. It's not yet
  official, still an experiment, but definitely not complete fail and
  better to avoid confusion. We kinda screwed that up with drm-misc a
  bit when we started committers last year.
- qxl atomic conversion (Gabriel Krisman)
- bunch of virtual driver polish (qxl, virgl, ...)
- misc tiny patches all over

This is the first time we've done the same merge-window blackout for
drm-misc as we've done for drm-intel for ages, hence why we have a
_lot_ of stuff queued already. But it's still only half of drm-intel
(room to grow!), and the drivers in drm-misc experiment seems to work
at least insofar as that you also get lots of driver updates here
alredy.

4 weeks worth of stuff since I was traveling&lazy:

- lspcon improvements (Imre)
- proper atomic state for cdclk handling (Ville)
- gpu reset improvements (Chris)
- lots and lots of polish around fences, requests, waiting and
  everything related all over (both gem and modeset code), from Chris
- atomic by default on gen5+ minus byt/bsw (Maarten did the patch to
  flip the default, really this is a massive joint team effort)
- moar power domains, now 64bit (Ander)
- big pile of in-kernel unit tests for various gem subsystems (Chris),
  including simple mock objects for i915 device and and the ggtt
  manager.
- i915_gpu_info in debugfs, for taking a snapshot of the current gpu
  state. Same thing as i915_error_state, but useful if the kernel didn't
  notice something is stick. From Chris.
- bxt dsi fixes (Umar Shankar)
- bxt w/a updates (Jani)
- no more struct_mutex for gem object unreference (Chris)
- some execlist refactoring (Tvrtko)
- color manager support for glk (Ander)
- improve the power-well sync code to better take over from the
  firmware (Imre)
- gem tracepoint polish (Tvrtko)
- lots of glk fixes all around (Ander)
- ctx switch improvements (Chris)
- glk dsi support&fixes (Deepak M)
- dsi fixes for vlv and clanups, lots of them (Hans de Goede)
- switch to i915.ko types in lots of our internal modeset code (Ander)
- byt/bsw atomic wm update code, yay (Ville)
