Implement framebuffer I/O helpers, such as fb_read*() and fb_write*(),
in the architecture's <asm/fb.h> header file or the generic one.

The common case has been the use of regular I/O functions, such as
__raw_readb() or memset_io(). A few architectures used plain system-
memory reads and writes. Sparc used helpers for its SBus.

The architectures that used special cases provide the same code in
their __raw_*() I/O helpers. So the patch replaces this code with the
__raw_*() functions and moves it to <asm-generic/fb.h> for all
architectures.

v6:
         * fix fb_readq()/fb_writeq() on 64-bit mips (kernel test robot)
v5:
         * include <linux/io.h> in <asm-generic/fb>; fix s390 build
v4:
         * ia64, loongarch, sparc64: add fb_mem*() to arch headers
           to keep current semantics (Arnd)
v3:
         * implement all architectures with generic helpers
         * support reordering and native byte order (Geert, Arnd)

add mips fb_q()

MIPS does not include <asm-generic/io.h>,  nor define its own

I know, that's why the TODO says to convert it to generic I/O.

__raw_readq() and __raw_writeq()...

It doesn't define those macros, but it generates function calls of the 
same names. Follow the macros at

 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h#L357

It expands to a variety of helpers, including __raw_*().

... so how can this call work?

On 64-bit builds, there's __raw_readq() and __raw_writeq().

At first, I tried to do the right thing and convert MIPS to work with 
<asm-generic/io.h>. But that created a ton of follow-up errors in other 
headers. So for now, it's better to handle this problem in asm/fb.h.

Best regards
Thomas
