[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 0/19] tegra: Add display driver and LCD support for Seaboard

This series adds support for the Tegra2x's display peripheral. This
supports the LCD display on Seaboard and we use this to enable console
output in U-Boot on the LCD.

Configuration is via the device tree. Proposed bindings are included
in this series.

I looked at the message "[RFC 4/4] drm: Add NVIDIA Tegra support" on
device-tree-discuss. There does not seem to be any conclusion for now.

While I agree EDID is convenient for machines I would prefer to provide
a user-friendly way of selecting LCD settings as well, with EDID more
as a fallback and auto-detection when available.

To improve performance two optimisations are offered:

1. The LCD frame buffer is cached, with the cache being flushed after
each newline sent to putc(), and in a few other situations. This
dramatically increases performance (around 10x). This requires a few
additions to the ARM cache support.

2. The console supports scrolling in steps of more than 1 line. This
speeds up scrolling output considerably, particularly commands like
'printenv' which display a lot of output. This requires a new CONFIG
and a change to the console_scrollup() function.

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to use const in pinmux_config_pingroup/table()
- Add nvidia prefix to device tree properties
- Align tegra display using new CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT feature
- Put the LCD cache flush logic into lcd_putc() instead of lcd_puts()
- Update LCD driver to deal with new fdt bindings
- Update seaboard LCD definitions for new fdt binding
- Use a more generic config CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT for lcd alignment
- Use const where possible in funcmux
