Hold temporary memory for format conversion in an instance of struct
drm_format_conv_state. Update internal helpers of DRM's format-conversion
code accordingly. Drivers will later be able to maintain this cache by
themselves.

Besides caching, struct drm_format_conv_state will be useful to hold
additional information for format conversion, such as palette data or
foreground/background colors. This will enable conversion from indexed
color formats to component-based formats.

v5:
	* improve documentation (Javier, Noralf)
v3:
	* rename struct drm_xfrm_buf to struct drm_format_conv_state
	  (Javier)
	* remove managed cleanup
	* add drm_format_conv_state_copy() for shadow-plane support

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
