Daniel Vetter b0e898ac55 drm: remove FASYNC support
So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.

First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...

Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.

No merged drm driver has ever done that.

After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

    Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...

Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.

So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.

v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.

v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.

v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

Daniel Vetter 43387b37fa drm/gem: create drm_gem_dumb_destroy
All the gem based kms drivers really want the same function to
destroy a dumb framebuffer backing storage object.

So give it to them and roll it out in all drivers.

This still leaves the option open for kms drivers which don't use GEM
for backing storage, but it does decently simplify matters for gem
drivers.

Laurent Pinchart 58cbd3ac09 drm/shmobile: Use the GEM PRIME helpers
The GEM CMA PRIME import/export helpers have been removed in favor of
generic GEM PRIME helpers with GEM CMA low-level operations. Fix the
driver accordingly.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 56550d94cb Drivers: gpu: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, and __devexit
from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Thierry Reding a16d4f8601 drm: platform: Don't initialize driver-private data
Platform device drivers usually use the driver-private data for their
own purposes. Having it overwritten by drm_platform_init() is confusing
and error-prone.

Laurent Pinchart 51c1327876 drm: Renesas SH Mobile DRM driver
The SH Mobile LCD controller (LCDC) DRM driver supports the main
graphics plane in RGB and YUV formats, as well as the overlay planes (in
alpha-blending mode only).

Only flat panel outputs using the parallel interface are supported.
Support for SYS panels, HDMI and DSI is currently not implemented.
