Hello!
This series adds 180° display plane rotation support to the NVIDIA Tegra DRM driver which is needed for devices that have display panel physically mounted upside-down, like Nexus 7 tablet device for example [1]. Since DRM panel rotation is a new thing for a userspace, currently only Opentegra Xorg driver handles the rotated display panel [2], but this is good enough for the start.
Note that later on it should be possible to implement a transparent 180° display rotation for Tegra DRM driver which will remove the need to have a bleeding edge userspace that knows how to rotate display planes and I'm slowly working on it. For the starter we can go with the minimal rotation support, so it's not a blocker.
This series is based on the work that was made by Derek Basehore for the Mediatek driver [3], his patch is included into this patchset. I added my tested-by tag to the Derek's patch.
Please review and apply, thanks in advance!

Changelog:
v2: - Dropped "drm/panel: Set display info in panel attach" patch, which turned out to be obsolete now.
- Renamed the cover-latter, hopefully this will fix the bouncing emails.Derek Basehore (1): drm/panel: Add helper for reading DT rotation
Dmitry Osipenko (4): drm/panel: lvds: Set up panel orientation
IMHO it's perfectly reasonable to report the panel orientation to userspace, which can apply plane rotation as needed.
Although I see that this series, alike Derek's, has a couple of issues: - only a single panel driver is updated - rotation is _not_ listed as supported property, in said panel driver device-tree bindings
My personal inclination is that we should aim for a comprehensive solution: - wire all panel drivers, as currently documented (quick grep list below) - document and wire-up the lvds and boe panels - as proposed by you and Derek respectively
