[PATCH 0/5] video: add support for MIPI DBI interface

Many simple RGB panels use a MIPI DBI interface over SPI, so this patch
adds support for this interface using an API compatible with Linux.

The MIPI DBI interface works similar to SPI using 8-bit words in the
format of: COMMAND DATA1 DATA2 ...
However the interface has two variations on this.

The first variation is implemented by this patch series: Using 9-bit
words, with the first bit signalling whether the word is a COMMAND or
DATA.

The second variation is not implemented by this series: A GPIO is held
at a value during an 8-bit word to indicate if it's a COMMAND or WORD.
Adding support for this wouldn't be too hard, but I don't have any
hardware to test it on.

Linux seems to not implement the specification correctly: It sets CS
inactive between words instead of keeping it active for the entire
transaction. I'm copying this behaviour to keep compatibility in porting
panels across from the kernel.
