For drivers which might want to disable fbdev legacy support.
Select the new option in all drivers for now, so this shouldn't result
in any change. Drivers need some work anyway to make fbdev support
optional (if they have it implemented, that is), so the recommended
way to expose this is by adding per-driver options. At least as long
as most drivers don't support disabling the fbdev support.
v2: Update for new drm drivers msm and rcar-du. Note that Rob's msm
driver can already take advantage of this, which allows us to build
msm without any fbdev depencies in the kernel!
v3: Move the MODULE_* stuff from the fbdev helper file to
drm_crtc_helper.c.

The snapdragon chips have multiple different display controllers,
depending on which chip variant/version. (As far as I can tell, current
devices have either MDP3 or MDP4, and upcoming devices have MDSS.) And
then external to the display controller are HDMI, DSI, etc. blocks which
may be shared across devices which have different display controller
blocks.
To more easily add support for different display controller blocks, the
display controller specific bits are split out into a "kms" module,
which provides the kms plane/crtc/encoder objects.
The external HDMI, DSI, etc. blocks are part encoder, and part connector
currently. But I think I will pull in the drm_bridge patches from
chromeos tree, and split them into a bridge+connector, with the
registers that need to be set in modeset handled by the bridge. This
would remove the 'msm_connector' base class. But some things need to be
double checked to make sure I could get the correct ON/OFF sequencing..
This patch adds support for mdp4 crtc (including hw cursor), dtv encoder
(part of MDP4 block), and hdmi.
