drm/tilcdc: Get rid of complex ping-pong mechanism
Get rid of complex ping-pong mechanism and replace it with simpler single buffer flipping code. The LCDC HW appears to be designed mainly static framebuffers in mind. There are two modes of operation, either static single buffer, or ping pong double buffering with two static buffers switching back and forth. Luckily the framebuffer start address is fetched only in the beginning of the frame and changing the address after that only takes effect after the next vertical blank. The page flipping code can simply write the address of the new framebuffer and the page is flipped automatically after the next vertical blank. Using the ping pong double buffering makes the flipping code way more complex and it does not provide any benefit, so it is better to switch to single buffer operation. There is still one problem in updating the framebuffer dma address on the fly. There are two registers defining the framebuffer dma area and things may break if the dma address is fetched in while the registers are are being updated.
