staging: udlfb: enhance EDID and mode handling support
Enhance EDID and mode table handling * Adds support for lower-end DL chips on higher-end monitors * Adds support for using fbdev standard EDID parsing and handling * Adds support for more dynamic reallocation of framebuffer, based on new EDID Queries EDID from hardware with several retries then queries DisplayLink chip for max pixel area via vendor descriptor. Uses existing fbdev mode handling service funcations to build mode list of common modes between adapter and monitor. This enables lower-end chips (e.g. DL-125) to successfully pick a compatible mode on higher end monitors (e.g. whose default mode is over 1280x1024). Reallocate framebuffer if necessary in response to new max mode. Signed-off-by: Bernie Thompson <bernie@plugable.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
