    drm/omap: dss: Add device operations flags · 09e5bb6d
    Laurent Pinchart authored
    When an omap_dss_device operation can be implemented in multiple places
    in a chain of devices, it is important to find out which device to
    address to perfom the operation. This is currently done by calling the
    operation on the display device at the end of the chain, and recursively
    delagating the operation to the previous device if it can't be performed
    locally. The drawback of this approach is an increased complexity in
    omap_dss_device drivers.
    
    In order to simplify the drivers, we will switch from a recursive model
    to an interative model, centralizing the complexity in a single
    location. This requires knowing which operations an omap_dss_device
    supports at runtime. We can already test which operations are
    implemented by checking the operation pointer, but implemented
    operations can require resources whose availability varies between
    systems. For instance a hot-plug signal from a connector can be wired to
    a GPIO or to a bridge chip.
    
    Add operation flags that can be set in the omap_dss_device structure by
    drivers to signal support for operations.
