staging: drm/imx: add i.MX IPUv3 base driver
The IPU is the Image Processing Unit found on i.MX51/53/6 SoCs. It features several units for image processing, this patch adds support for the units needed for Framebuffer support, namely: - Display Controller (dc) - Display Interface (di) - Display Multi Fifo Controller (dmfc) - Display Processor (dp) - Image DMA Controller (idmac) This patch is based on the Freescale driver, but follows a different approach. The Freescale code implements logical idmac channels and the handling of the subunits is hidden in common idmac code pathes in big switch/case statements. This patch instead just provides code and resource management for the different subunits. The user, in this case the framebuffer driver, decides how the different units play together. The IPU has other units missing in this patch: - CMOS Sensor Interface (csi) - Video Deinterlacer (vdi) - Sensor Multi FIFO Controler (smfc) - Image Converter (ic) - Image Rotator (irt) Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
