This series adds support for the lvds encoder present on rk3288 soc and allows external connectors to use the generic rgb pins.
On the older socs (rk3188, rk3066, etc) these pins where accessible by anyone, while on the rk3288 the lvds controller controls access to them.
So while on the old socs an external encoder was explicitly connected to one of the two lcd-controllers, on the rk3288 the lvds in between can toggle which controller should be the source.
To facilitate this the lvds encoder can use two modes. When a panel is attached it acts as encoder and without panel it just registers a bridge that can be used later.
The bridge association to an encoder is done via a rockchip,rgb-bridge property in the encoder node itself and handled in rockchip_drm_load to not leak rockchip-specific handling into generic encoder drivers.
As example on how this can work, I've included a driver for simple (dumb) vga encoders, like the adv7123 (and clones) as used on the rk3288-firefly board. This same encoder is used on the Rayeager-px2 board but there connected directly to the rgb pins of the rk3066 which will hopefully also be supported in the future.
I've named this currently vga-simply (inspired by panel-simple), because so far I have found the adv7123 (and two clones) but I guess there will be more dumb vga encoders around that only differ in minimal things.
Similarly, most of the rk3288-based TV-boxes use a rk1000 i2c tv encoder connected in a similar way - and again directly connected on the rk3188-radxarock.
Caveats: - the i2c subdirectory is probably not the right one for my vga encoder so if somebody could suggest where this should live, I'd be very happy - I'm not sure if I'm abusing some drm-APIs in a wrong way :-)
