Partially revert "video: fbdev: amba-clcd: Retire elder CLCD driver"
Also partially revert the follow-up change "drm: pl111: Absorb the external register header". This reverts the parts of commits 7e4e589d and 0fb81256 that touch paths outside of drivers/gpu/drm/pl111. The fbdev driver is used by Android's FVP configuration. Using the DRM driver together with DRM's fbdev emulation results in a failure to boot Android. The root cause is that Android's generic fbdev userspace driver relies on the ability to set the pixel format via FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, which is not supported by fbdev emulation. There have been other less critical behavioral differences identified between the fbdev driver and the DRM driver with fbdev emulation. The DRM driver exposes different values for the panel's width, height and refresh rate, and the DRM driver fails a FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO syscall with yres_virtual greater than the maximum supported value instead of letting the syscall succeed and setting yres_virtual based on yres.
