The i915 DRM driver very cleverly used ascii85 encoding for their GPU state file. Move the encode functions to a general header file to support other drivers that might be interested in the same functionality.
In a previous version of this patch, Chris asked what tree I wanted this applied to, and the answer is: I'm not sure? I'm hoping that Rob will be cool with picking the rest up for msm-next for 4.18 but I'm okay with putting this particular patch wherever it is easiest for the maintainers.
We are a bit late to sneak it into the 4.17 drm base via i915. I don't anticipate any problems (for i915) with this patch going in through msm-next, so happy to have it land there and percolate back to i915 3 months later.
I'd love to have it in drm-misc-next, so I can build a similar hang dump interface for vc5. But most importantly, I'd like to have it somewhere soon.
I'll fix the bot error and push it up again today.
