Hans de Goede 404d1a3edc drm: Add panel orientation quirks, v6.
Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet screens and a display
engine which cannot rotate in hardware, so the firmware just leaves things
as is and we cannot figure out that the display is oriented non upright
from the hardware.

So at least on x86, we need a quirk table for this. This commit adds a DMI
based quirk table which is initially populated with 5 such devices: Asus
T100HA, GPD Pocket, GPD win, I.T.Works TW891 and the VIOS LTH17.

This quirk table will be used by the drm code to let userspace know that
the display is not mounted upright inside the devices case through a new
panel orientation drm-connector property, as well as to tell fbcon to
rotate the console so that it shows the right way up.

Changes in v5:
-Add a kernel-doc comment documenting drm_get_panel_orientation_quirk()
-Remove board_* matches from the dmi-matches for the VIOS LTH17 laptop,
 keeping only the (identical) sys_vendor and product_name matches.
 This is necessary because an older version of the bios has
 board_vendor set to VOIS instead of VIOS

Changes in v6:
-Add reference to added kernel-docs in Documentation/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.rst

Mode Setting Helper Functions
=============================
The DRM subsystem aims for a strong separation between core code and helper
libraries. Core code takes care of general setup and teardown and decoding
userspace requests to kernel internal objects. Everything else is handled by a
large set of helper libraries, which can be combined freely to pick and choose
for each driver what fits, and avoid shared code where special behaviour is
needed.
This distinction between core code and helpers is especially strong in the
modesetting code, where there's a shared userspace ABI for all drivers. This is
in contrast to the render side, where pretty much everything (with very few
exceptions) can be considered optional helper code.
There are a few areas these helpers can grouped into:
* Helpers to implement modesetting. The important ones here are the atomic
helpers. Old drivers still often use the legacy CRTC helpers. They both share
the same set of common helper vtables. For really simple drivers (anything
that would have been a great fit in the deprecated fbdev subsystem) there's
also the simple display pipe helpers.
* There's a big pile of helpers for handling outputs. First the generic bridge
helpers for handling encoder and transcoder IP blocks. Second the panel helpers
for handling panel-related information and logic. Plus then a big set of
helpers for the various sink standards (DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI DSI). Finally
there's also generic helpers for handling output probing, and for dealing with
EDIDs.
* The last group of helpers concerns itself with the frontend side of a display
pipeline: Planes, handling rectangles for visibility checking and scissoring,
flip queues and assorted bits.

HDMI Infoframes Helper Reference
================================
Strictly speaking this is not a DRM helper library but generally useable
by any driver interfacing with HDMI outputs like v4l or alsa drivers.
But it nicely fits into the overall topic of mode setting helper
libraries and hence is also included here.
