I started writing this patch series to get DSS's fifo-merge feature working,
but in the end the series grew a bit...

The reason why fifo-merge is tricky is that enabling or disabling the
fifo-merge affects multiple overlays and overlay managers at the same time. In
practice this means we need to enable and disable fifo-merge in steps, doing
first one thing, then waiting for the changes to be synchronized with all the
overlay managers, then doing another thing, etc... This could be done with a
complex state machine, or more simply with blocking functions.

The basic idea to get this done is to divide ovl & mgr functions into two sets.
First set is non-blocking, using only spinlocks, and used to change settings
which affect only that one ovl or mgr. set/get_info() and apply() functions are
in this set. The second set may block. The rest of the functions are in this
set, for example overlay enable/disable. 

To get there wasn't as simple as I thought, so the patch series grew. I am
quite content with the end result, though, as it cleans up the whole
apply-mechanism of omapdss rather lot, and the locking scheme should finally be
valid. There are still holes in the locking scheme, related to the panel
drivers, but the locks in apply.c should be solid.

Almost all of the changes are not visible to the users of the omapdss, but some
changes are visible. The notable changes to the users of omapdss in this series
are:

* Overlays enable/disable is no longer handled through the overlay_info struct,
  but functions. The overlay struct contains enable, disable and is_enabled
  functions to handle that. Note: enable and disable may block!
* Ovl/mgr infos are no longer visible directly, but need to be gotten with the
  get_info functions.
* Partial update for manual update displays has been removed. To my knowledge
  partial update is not used, it doesn't work exactly right, using it requires
  the user to know limitations about the underlying HW, and lastly and most
  importantly, it makes the configuration code really messy.

And the original reason for this series, fifo-merge, is actually still missing.
There are some problems with it when using two displays at the same time, and
it's still under study. Also OMAP4's more advanced fifo-configuration is under
work, and I plan to push both of those later. For those interested, the current
fifo-merge patches can be found from my git tree, on top of this series, from:
