Hans de Goede 8d70f395e6 drm: Add support for a panel-orientation connector property, v6
On some devices the LCD panel is mounted in the casing in such a way that
the up/top side of the panel does not match with the top side of the
device (e.g. it is mounted upside-down).

This commit adds the necessary infra for lcd-panel drm_connector-s to
have a "panel orientation" property to communicate how the panel is
orientated vs the casing.

Userspace can use this property to check for non-normal orientation and
then adjust the displayed image accordingly by rotating it to compensate.

Changes in v2:
-Store panel_orientation in drm_display_info, so that drm_fb_helper.c can
 access it easily
-Have a single drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property rather then
 create and attach functions. The caller is expected to set
 drm_display_info.panel_orientation before calling this, then this will
 check for platform specific quirks overriding the panel_orientation and if
 the panel_orientation is set after this then it will attach the property.

Changes in v6:
-Use an enum (with kerneldoc) rather then #defines for
 DRM_MODE_PANEL_ORIENTATION_*

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
