video/cmdline: Introduce CONFIG_VIDEO for video= parameter

Add CONFIG_VIDEO for common code in drivers/video/. Use the option to
select helpers for the video= parameter. Replaces CONFIG_VIDEO_CMDLINE.

Other common code in drivers/video/ can be moved behind CONFIG_VIDEO,
which will simplify the Kconfig rules.

fbdev: Remove default file-I/O implementations

Drop the default implementations for file read, write and mmap
operations. Each fbdev driver must now provide an implementation
and select any necessary helpers. If no implementation has been
set, fbdev returns an errno code to user space. The code is the
same as if the operation had not been set in the file_operations
struct.

This change makes the fbdev helpers for I/O memory optional. Most
systems only use system-memory framebuffers via DRM's fbdev emulation.

v2:
* warn once if I/O callbacks are missing (Javier)

Rename the token to harmonize naming among various helpers. For
example, I/O-memory helpers use FB_IOMEM_FOPS.

fbdev: Provide I/O-memory helpers as module

Provide helpers for accessing I/O memory in a helper module. The fbdev
core uses these helpers, so select the module unconditionally for fbdev.
Drivers will later be able to select the module individually and the
helpers will become optional.

fbdev: Add Kconfig macro FB_IOMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED

The new Kconfig macro FB_IOMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED selects fbdev's
helpers for device I/O memory and deferred I/O. Drivers should
use it if they perform damage updates on device I/O memory.

drm: fix up fbdev Kconfig defaults

As a result of the recent Kconfig reworks, the default settings for the
framebuffer interfaces changed in unexpected ways:

Configurations that leave CONFIG_FB disabled but use DRM now get
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION by default. This also turns on the deprecated /dev/fb
device nodes for machines that don't actually want it.

In turn, configurations that previously had DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION enabled
now only get the /dev/fb front-end but not the more useful framebuffer
console, which is not selected any more.

We had previously decided that any combination of the three frontends
(FB_DEVICE, FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and LOGO) should be selectable, but the
new default settings mean that a lot of defconfig files would have to
get adapted.

Change the defaults back to what they were in Linux 6.5:

- Leave DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION turned off unless CONFIG_FB
is enabled. Previously this was a hard dependency but now the two are
independent. However, configurations that enable CONFIG_FB probably
also want to keep the emulation for DRM, while those without FB
presumably did that intentionally in the past.

- Leave FB_DEVICE turned off for FB=n. Following the same
logic, the deprecated option should not automatically get enabled
here, most users that had FB turned off in the past do not want it,
even if they want the console

- Turn the FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE option on if
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is set to avoid having to change defconfig
files that relied on it being selected unconditionally in the past.
This also makes sense since both LOGO and FB_DEVICE are now disabled
by default for builds without CONFIG_FB, but DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
would make no sense if all three are disabled.

fbdev: Use _DMAMEM_ infix for DMA-memory helpers

Change the infix for fbdev's DMA-memory helpers from _DMA_ to
_DMAMEM_. The helpers perform operations within DMA-able memory,
but they don't perform DMA operations. Naming should make this
clear. Adapt all users. No functional changes.

fbdev: Add fb_ops init macros for framebuffers in DMA-able memory

Add initializer macros for struct fb_ops for framebuffers in DMA-able
memory areas. Also add a corresponding Kconfig token. As of now, this
is equivalent to system framebuffers and mostly useful for labeling
drivers correctly.

A later patch may add a generic DMA-specific mmap operation. Linux
offers a number of dma_mmap_*() helpers for different use cases.

fbdev: Split frame buffer support in FB and FB_CORE symbols

Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev
drivers are needed (e.g: only to have support for framebuffer consoles).

The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB
and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well.

That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to
enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon and/or the DRM fbdev emulation layer.

This patch introduces a non-visible CONFIG_FB_CORE symbol that could be
enabled just to have core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION,
allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all the
fbdev drivers).

Nothing from fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o is used by the DRM fbdev emulation
layer so these two objects can be compiled out when CONFIG_FB is disabled.

fbdev: Move core fbdev symbols to a separate Kconfig file

The drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig defines both symbols for fbdev drivers and
core fbdev symbols, that can be enabled independently of the fbdev drivers.

Split the Kconfig in two, one that only has the symbols for fbdev drivers
and another one that contains the fbdev core symbols.
