    drm: Add panel support · aead40ea

    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.
