Testing has shown that on sun4i the display backend engine does not have
deep enough fifo-s causing flickering / tearing in full-hd mode due to
fifo underruns. On sun4i use the display frontend engine to do the dma from
memory, as the frontend does have deep enough fifo-s.
As added advantage of this is that it results in much better memory bandwidth
as it reduces the amount of dram bank switches, for more details see:

Note that this changes the pipeline searched for in the simplefb node, we can
get away with doing this now, since no kernel has yet shipped with simplefb
dtb nodes, and I will make sure to get a simplefb node with the new pipeline
into 3.19 before it ships.

While running some tests with an Olinuxino-A13-Micro + a 7" Olimex LCD module
I noticed that the screen flickered. This is caused by the lcd display clk
phase reg value being set to 0, where it should be 1 in this setup.
This commit adds a Kconfig option for the lcd display clk phase, so that we
can set it per board. This defaults to 1, because looking at all the fex
files in sunxi-boards, that is by far the most used value.
This commit updated the Ippo and MSI Primo73 tablet defconfigs to override the
default of 1 with 0, as that is the correct value for those tablets, this
keeps the register settings the same as before this commit.
The Olinuxino-A13 defconfigs are not updated, changing the register setting
for these boards from 0 to 1, this is intentional.

Add a write to the "unknown" (*) register to enable auto input sync, when
initially adding sunxi hdmi output support this magic write from the android
kernel code was missed, causing lcdc -> hdmi encoder sync problems.
With this write added, we can drop the modesetting retries and the extra
delays added to work around these sync problems.
With the retries dropped there also is no need to 0 all the enable flags at
the beginning of the modeset, as they are initialized to 0 already by
engines_init.
*) "unknown" is the actual name of this register in the android kernel sources

So far we've been programming the hdmi-encoder to send out dvi data over the
hdmi connector. This works well for most devices, including hdmi devices, but
not all devices accept dvi data on a hdmi input.
Add support for sending proper hdmi data over the hdmi output found on most
sunxi boards. This can be turned on by adding monitor=hdmi as option to the
video-mode env. variable.
A follow up patch will determine whether to send dvi or hdmi automatically when
EDID is used.

Add DDC & EDID support and use it to automatically select the native mode of
the attached monitor. This can be disabled by adding edid=0 as option
to the video-mode env. variable.

Add simplefb support, note this depends on the kernel having support for
the clocks property which has recently been added to the simplefb devicetree
binding.

This adds a fixed mode hdmi driver for the sunxi platform. The fixed
mode is a relatively safe 1024x768, more complete EDID handling is
currently not provided. Only HDMI is supported today.
This code is enabled when HPD detects an attached monitor.
Current config is such that 8MB is shaved off at the top of the RAM.
This avoids several memory handling issues, most significant is the fact
that on linux on ARM you are not allowed to remap known RAM as IO. A
clued in display driver will be able to recycle this reserved RAM in
future though.
cfbconsole was chosen as it provides the most important functionality: a
working u-boot console, allowing for the debugging of certain issues
without the need for a UART.
