[PATCH] ARM: vexpress: initial device tree support

For all the above reasons I think the DDC/EDID support in the kernel
should be moving gently towards a (very small) DDC/EDID mini-subsystem
shared by video drivers.  I.e. it should be exposed as a well-known
I2C bus name, and if it's GPIO bit-banging I2C, that should be exposed
as well.

I don't think a single well-known bus name would work, since it's very
common for a system to have multiple DDC busses, since they have multiple
video connectors.

However, representing each physical connector as a jack object to user-
space (perhaps related to media controller, or a cross-subsystem extension
of the ALSA jack objects?) and associating the I2C bus ID (or some more
abstract display-oriented ID) with it would make sense.
