This adds support for the framebuffer available in the Cirrus
Logic CLPS711X CPUs.
FB features:
- 1-2-4 bits per pixel.
- Programmable panel size to a maximum of 1024x256 at 4 bps.
- Relocatible Frame Buffer (SRAM or SDRAM).
- Programmable refresh rates.
- 16 gray scale values.
This new driver supports usage with devicetree and as a general
change it removes last user of <mach/hardware.h> for CLPS711X targets,
so this subarch will fully prepared to switch to multiplatform.
The driver have been tested with custom board equipped Cirrus Logic
EP7312 in DT and non-DT mode.
My original comment about this is still unanswered: why a totally new
driver? The proper way would be to gradually change the old driver with
a patch series. Then it's possible to review the patches and see what is
actually changed.
