drm/mgag200: Add vblank support


There's no VBLANK interrupt on Matrox chipsets. The workaround that is
being used here and in other free Matrox drivers is to program <linecomp>
to the value of <vblkstr> and enable the VLINE interrupt. This triggers
an interrupt at the time when VBLANK begins.

VLINE uses separate registers for enabling and clearing pending interrupts.
No extra synchronization between irq handler and the rest of the driver is
required.

v6:
- clear VLINE status bit before registering IRQ (Jocelyn)

v5:
- disable all interrupts before registering IRQ (Jocelyn)
- don't read from ICLEAR (Jocelyn)

v4:
- recreate patch on latest upstream
- use devm_request_irq() for managed cleanup
- fail if vblanking cannot be initialized
- rename register constants (Sam, Emil)
- clear interrupt before registering handler (Ville)
- move <linecomp> programming into separate commit
- set <linecomp> to <vblkstr>
- fix typo in commit message

v3:
- set <linecomp> to <vdisplay> + 1 to trigger at VBLANK
- expand comment on linecomp

v2:
- only signal vblank on CRTC 0
- use constants for registers and fields
- set VLINECLR before enabling interrupt
- test against STATUS and IEN in irq handler
- coding-style fixes
