This now works, I think.

So this is a cold-coded attempt to move the TI nspire over to
using DRM. It is more or less the last user of the old fbdev
driver so it is a noble cause and interesting usecase.

This can be applied on top of a vanilla Torvalds v5.3-rc1
kernel out since sunday.

I do not expect these patches to "just work", I expect them to
need some hacking, so someone who is actually working on the
hardware will need to step in and fix it up.

It does outline the overall idea of how to do this.

I found no defconfig for nspire in the kernel so I used
ARMv4t multi.

Configuring the driver for nspire:

- Disable CONFIG_FB_ARMCLCD
- Enable CONFIG_DRM_PL111, CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE

The ARM patch will be merged separately through ARM SoC.

Linus Walleij (4):
  drm/pl111: Support grayscale
  drm/panel: simple: Add TI nspire panel bindings
  drm/panel: simple: Support TI nspire panels
  ARM: nspire: Move CLCD set-up to device tree
