    drm/tve200: Add new driver for TVE200 · 179c02fe
    Linus Walleij authored
    This adds a new DRM driver for the Faraday Technology TVE200
    block. This "TV Encoder" encodes a ITU-T BT.656 stream and can
    be found in the StorLink SL3516 (later Cortina Systems CS3516)
    as well as the Grain Media GM8180.
    
    I do not have definitive word from anyone at Faraday that this
    IP block is theirs, but it bears the hallmark of their 3-digit
    version code (200) and is used in two SoCs from completely
    different companies. (Grain Media was fully owned by Faraday
    until it was transferred to NovoTek this january, and
    Faraday did lots of work on the StorLink SoCs.)
    
    The D-Link DIR-685 uses this in connection with the Ilitek
    ILI9322 panel driver that supports BT.656 input, while the
    GM8180 apparently has been used with the Cirrus Logic CS4954
    digital video encoder. The oldest user seems to be
    something called Techwall 2835.
    
    This driver is heavily inspired by Eric Anholt's PL111
    driver and therefore I have mentioned all the ancestor authors
    in the header file.
