drm/eld: add helpers to modify the SADs of an ELD

Occasionally it's necessary for drivers to modify the SADs of an ELD,
but it's not so cool to have drivers poke at the ELD buffer directly.

Using the helpers to translate between 3-byte SAD and struct cea_sad,
add ELD helpers to get/set the SADs from/to an ELD.

v2: s/i/sad_index/ (Mitul)

drm/edid: split out drm_eld.h from drm_edid.h

The drm_edid.[ch] files are starting to be a bit crowded, and with plans
to add more ELD related functionality, it's perhaps cleanest to split
the ELD code out to a header of its own.

Include drm_eld.h from drm_edid.h for starters, and leave it to
follow-up work to only include drm_eld.h where needed.

drm/fb: rename FB CMA helpers to FB DMA helpers

Rename "FB CMA" helpers to "FB DMA" helpers - considering the hierarchy
of APIs (mm/cma -> dma -> fb dma) calling them "FB DMA" seems to be
more applicable.

Besides that, commit e57924d4ae80 ("drm/doc: Task to rename CMA helpers")
requests to rename the CMA helpers and implies that people seem to be
confused about the naming.

In order to do this renaming the following script was used:

```
#!/bin/bash

DIRS="drivers/gpu include/drm Documentation/gpu"

REGEX_SYM_UPPER="[0-9A-Z_\-]"
REGEX_SYM_LOWER="[0-9a-z_\-]"

REGEX_GREP_UPPER="(${REGEX_SYM_UPPER}*)(FB)_CMA_(${REGEX_SYM_UPPER}*)"
REGEX_GREP_LOWER="(${REGEX_SYM_LOWER}*)(fb)_cma_(${REGEX_SYM_LOWER}*)"

REGEX_SED_UPPER="s/${REGEX_GREP_UPPER}/\1\2_DMA_\3/g"
REGEX_SED_LOWER="s/${REGEX_GREP_LOWER}/\1\2_dma_\3/g"

# Find all upper case 'CMA' symbols and replace them with 'DMA'.
for ff in $(grep -REHl "${REGEX_GREP_UPPER}" $DIRS)
do
sed -i -E "$REGEX_SED_UPPER" $ff
done

# Find all lower case 'cma' symbols and replace them with 'dma'.
for ff in $(grep -REHl "${REGEX_GREP_LOWER}" $DIRS)
do
sed -i -E "$REGEX_SED_LOWER" $ff
done

# Replace all occurrences of 'CMA' / 'cma' in comments and
# documentation files with 'DMA' / 'dma'.
for ff in $(grep -RiHl " cma " $DIRS)
do
sed -i -E "s/ cma / dma /g" $ff
sed -i -E "s/ CMA / DMA /g" $ff
done
```

Only a few more manual modifications were needed, e.g. reverting the
following modifications in some DRM Kconfig files

- select CMA if HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS
+ select DMA if HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS

as well as manually picking the occurrences of 'CMA'/'cma' in comments and
documentation which relate to "FB CMA", but not "GEM CMA".

This patch is compile-time tested building a x86_64 kernel with
`make allyesconfig && make drivers/gpu/drm`.

drm: Add privacy-screen class (v4)

On some new laptops the LCD panel has a builtin electronic privacy-screen.
We want to export this functionality as a property on the drm connector
object. But often this functionality is not exposed on the GPU but on some
other (ACPI) device.

This commit adds a privacy-screen class allowing the driver for these
other devices to register themselves as a privacy-screen provider; and
allowing the drm/kms code to get a privacy-screen provider associated
with a specific GPU/connector combo.

Changes in v2:
- Make CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN a bool which controls if the drm_privacy
code gets built as part of the main drm module rather then making it
a tristate which builds its own module.
- Add a #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN) check to
drm_privacy_screen_consumer.h and define stubs when the check fails.
Together these 2 changes fix several dependency issues.
- Remove module related code now that this is part of the main drm.ko
- Use drm_class as class for the privacy-screen devices instead of
adding a separate class for this

Changes in v3:
- Make the static inline drm_privacy_screen_get_state() stub set sw_state
and hw_state to PRIVACY_SCREEN_DISABLED to squelch an uninitialized
variable warning when CONFIG_DRM_PRIVICAY_SCREEN is not set

Changes in v4:
- Make drm_privacy_screen_set_sw_state() skip calling out to the hw if
hw_state == new_sw_state

drm: Add additional atomic helpers for shadow-buffered planes

Several drivers use GEM buffer objects as shadow buffers for the actual
framebuffer memory. Right now, drivers do these vmap operations in their
commit tail, which is actually not allowed by the locking rules for
the dma-buf reservation lock. The involved BO has to be vmapped in the
plane's prepare_fb callback and vunmapped in cleanup_fb.

This patch introduces atomic helpers for such shadow planes. Plane
functions manage the plane state for shadow planes. The provided
implementations for prepare_fb and cleanup_fb vmap and vunmap all BOs of
struct drm_plane_state.fb. The mappings are afterwards available in the
plane's commit-tail functions.

For now, all rsp drivers use the simple KMS helpers, so we add the plane
callbacks and wrappers for simple KMS. The internal plane functions can
later be exported as needed.

v3:
* documentation fixes
v2:
* make duplicate_state interface compatible with
struct drm_plane_funcs

Also, that's where the all the other backing storage stuff resides.
It's just the framebuffer helpers that should be in the kms helper
section.

- Try to clarify which functiosn are for implementing
drm_gem_object_funcs, and which for drivers to call directly. At
least one driver screwed that up a bit.

drm: Add helper to create a connector for a chain of bridges

Most bridge drivers create a DRM connector to model the connector at the
output of the bridge. This model is historical and has worked pretty
well so far, but causes several issues:

- It prevents supporting more complex display pipelines where DRM
connector operations are split over multiple components. For instance a
pipeline with a bridge connected to the DDC signals to read EDID data,
and another one connected to the HPD signal to detect connection and
disconnection, will not be possible to support through this model.

- It requires every bridge driver to implement similar connector
handling code, resulting in code duplication.

- It assumes that a bridge will either be wired to a connector or to
another bridge, but doesn't support bridges that can be used in both
positions very well (although there is some ad-hoc support for this in
the analogix_dp bridge driver).

In order to solve these issues, ownership of the connector needs to be
moved to the display controller driver.

To avoid code duplication in display controller drivers, add a new
helper to create and manage a DRM connector backed by a chain of
bridges. All connector operations are delegating to the appropriate
bridge in the chain.

drm: Add helpers to kick off self refresh mode in drivers

This patch adds a new drm helper library to help drivers implement
self refresh. Drivers choosing to use it will register crtcs and
will receive callbacks when it's time to enter or exit self refresh
mode.

In its current form, it has a timer which will trigger after a
driver-specified amount of inactivity. When the timer triggers, the
helpers will submit a new atomic commit to shut the refreshing pipe
off. On the next atomic commit, the drm core will revert the self
refresh state and bring everything back up to be actively driven.

From the driver's perspective, this works like a regular disable/enable
cycle. The driver need only check the 'self_refresh_active' state in
crtc_state. It should initiate self refresh mode on the panel and enter
an off or low-power state.

Changes in v2:
- s/psr/self_refresh/ (Daniel)
- integrated the psr exit into the commit that wakes it up (Jose/Daniel)
- made the psr state per-crtc (Jose/Daniel)
Changes in v3:
- Remove the self_refresh_(active|changed) from connector state (Daniel)
- Simplify loop in drm_self_refresh_helper_alter_state (Daniel)
- Improve self_refresh_aware comment (Daniel)
- s/self_refresh_state/self_refresh_data/ (Daniel)
Changes in v4:
- Move docbook location below panel (Daniel)
- Improve docbook with references and more detailed explanation (Daniel)
- Instead of register/unregister, use init/cleanup (Daniel)
Changes in v5:
- Resolved conflict in drm_atomic_helper.c #include block
- Resolved conflict in rst with HDCP helper docs
Changes in v6:
- Fix include ordering, clean up forward declarations (Sam)

drm/dp_mst: Introduce new refcounting scheme for mstbs and ports

The current way of handling refcounting in the DP MST helpers is really
confusing and probably just plain wrong because it's been hacked up many
times over the years without anyone actually going over the code and
seeing if things could be simplified.

To the best of my understanding, the current scheme works like this:
drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch both have a single refcount. When
this refcount hits 0 for either of the two, they're removed from the
topology state, but not immediately freed. Both ports and branch devices
will reinitialize their kref once it's hit 0 before actually destroying
themselves. The intended purpose behind this is so that we can avoid
problems like not being able to free a remote payload that might still
be active, due to us having removed all of the port/branch device
structures in memory, as per:

commit 91a25e463130 ("drm/dp/mst: deallocate payload on port destruction")

Which may have worked, but then it caused use-after-free errors. Being
new to MST at the time, I tried fixing it;

commit 263efde31f97 ("drm/dp/mst: Get validated port ref in drm_dp_update_payload_part1()")

But, that was broken: both drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch structs
are validated in almost every DP MST helper function. Simply put, this
means we go through the topology and try to see if the given
drm_dp_mst_branch or drm_dp_mst_port is still attached to something
before trying to use it in order to avoid dereferencing freed memory
(something that has happened a LOT in the past with this library).
Because of this it doesn't actually matter whether or not we keep keep
the ports and branches around in memory as that's not enough, because
any function that validates the branches and ports passed to it will
still reject them anyway since they're no longer in the topology
structure. So, use-after-free errors were fixed but payload deallocation
was completely broken.

Two years later, AMD informed me about this issue and I attempted to
come up with a temporary fix, pending a long-overdue cleanup of this
library:

commit c54c7374ff44 ("drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref")

But then that introduced use-after-free errors, so I quickly reverted
it:

commit 9765635b3075 ("Revert "drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref"")

And in the process, learned that there is just no simple fix for this:
the design is just broken. Unfortunately, the usage of these helpers are
quite broken as well. Some drivers like i915 have been smart enough to
avoid accessing any kind of information from MST port structures, but
others like nouveau have assumed, understandably so, that
drm_dp_mst_port structures are normal and can just be accessed at any
time without worrying about use-after-free errors.

After a lot of discussion, me and Daniel Vetter came up with a better
idea to replace all of this.

To summarize, since this is documented far more indepth in the
documentation this patch introduces, we make it so that drm_dp_mst_port
and drm_dp_mst_branch structures have two different classes of
refcounts: topology_kref, and malloc_kref. topology_kref corresponds to
the lifetime of the given drm_dp_mst_port or drm_dp_mst_branch in it's
given topology. Once it hits zero, any associated connectors are removed
and the branch or port can no longer be validated. malloc_kref
corresponds to the lifetime of the memory allocation for the actual
structure, and will always be non-zero so long as the topology_kref is
non-zero. This gives us a way to allow callers to hold onto port and
branch device structures past their topology lifetime, and dramatically
simplifies the lifetimes of both structures. This also finally fixes the
port deallocation problem, properly.

Additionally: since this now means that we can keep ports and branch
devices allocated in memory for however long we need, we no longer need
a significant amount of the port validation that we currently do.

Additionally, there is one last scenario that this fixes, which couldn't
have been fixed properly beforehand:

- CPU1 unrefs port from topology (refcount 1->0)
- CPU2 refs port in topology(refcount 0->1)

Since we now can guarantee memory safety for ports and branches
as-needed, we also can make our main reference counting functions fix
this problem by using kref_get_unless_zero() internally so that topology
refcounts can only ever reach 0 once.

drm: Add panel orientation quirks, v6.

Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet screens and a display
engine which cannot rotate in hardware, so the firmware just leaves things
as is and we cannot figure out that the display is oriented non upright
from the hardware.

So at least on x86, we need a quirk table for this. This commit adds a DMI
based quirk table which is initially populated with 5 such devices: Asus
T100HA, GPD Pocket, GPD win, I.T.Works TW891 and the VIOS LTH17.

This quirk table will be used by the drm code to let userspace know that
the display is not mounted upright inside the devices case through a new
panel orientation drm-connector property, as well as to tell fbcon to
rotate the console so that it shows the right way up.

Changes in v5:
-Add a kernel-doc comment documenting drm_get_panel_orientation_quirk()
-Remove board_* matches from the dmi-matches for the VIOS LTH17 laptop,
keeping only the (identical) sys_vendor and product_name matches.
This is necessary because an older version of the bios has
board_vendor set to VOIS instead of VIOS

-Add reference to added kernel-docs in Documentation/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.rst
