Andres Salomon fd96795630 gxfb/lxfb: detect framebuffer size using an MSR if VSA2 isn't available
If there's no VSA2 (ie, if we're using tinybios or OpenFirmware), use the
GLIU's P2D Range Offset Descriptor to determine how much memory we have
available for the framebuffer.

Originally based on a patch by Jordan Crouse.  Tested with OpenFirmware;
Pascal informs me that tinybios has a stub that fills in P2D_RO0.

Andres Salomon d1b4cc3ec5 gxfb: stop sharing code with gx1fb
We want to stop sharing stuff with gx1fb; it makes little sense.  There were
fields in geodefb_par that weren't being used, there was little point to the
DC/VP ops callbacks, etc.  This implements the following:

  - Create gxfb_par (based on geodefb_par), place it in gxfb.h
  - Drop display_gx.h and video_gx.h.  The last few patches moved most
    stuff into gxfb.h anyways, so there was very little left.
  - Drop the geode_{dc,vid}_ops stuff.  Un-static functions, add
    declarations to gxfb.h.

Andres Salomon d255114f22 gxfb: clean up register definitions
This does the following in preparation for register saving:
  - moves the register definitions from video_gx.h and display_gx.h into
    gxfb.h.
  - renames GX_* registers to match their section (ie, VP_).
  - renames register bitfields to match the data sheet (ie,
    DC_DCFG_TGEN -> DC_DISPLAY_CFG_TGEN).
  - for DC registers, rather than defining to specific addresses, use
    an enum to number them sequentially and just multiply by 4(bytes) to
    access them (in read_dc/write_dc).
  - for VP and FP registers, use an enum and multiple by 8 (bytes).  They're
    64bit registers.

Andres Salomon ab06aaf6a6 gxfb: create DC/VP/FP-specific handlers rather than using readl/writel
This creates read_dc/write_dc, read_vp/write_vp, and read_fp/write_fp for
reading and updating those registers.  It creates gxfb.h to house these.

We also drop a no-op readl() from gx_set_mode.  Other than that, there should
be no functionality change.

Andres Salomon fa20c8a6e5 gxfb: replace FBSIZE config option with a module parameter
Use a command line option (vram) rather than hardcoding the vram size.  LxFB
already does this; it's useful for machines that can't query the BIOS for fb
size.  This patch originated from David Woodhouse, was modified by Jordan
Crouse, and was then modified further by me.

This also adds some gxfb documentation in Documentation/fb.

Jordan Crouse f378819a19 [PATCH] gxfb: Fixups for the AMD Geode GX framebuffer driver
We cannot assume that the BIOS will be correctly setting up the hardware, so
set some bits in various display registers to enable video output.  Allow an
advanced user to specify a frambuffer size, rather then probing the BIOS.  All
of these fixes were prompted by the OLPC effort.

David Vrabel fc4effc7a9 [PATCH] fbdev: framebuffer driver for Geode GX
A framebuffer driver for the display controller in AMD Geode GX processors
(Geode GX533, Geode GX500 etc.).  Tested at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and
1280x1024 at 8, 16, and 24 bpp with both CRT and TFT.  No accelerated features
currently implemented and compression remains disabled.

This driver requires that the BIOS (or the SoftVG/Firmbase code in the BIOS)
has created an appropriate virtual PCI header.
