lcd: add callbacks for early fb event blank support
This patchset adds early fb blank feature that a callback of lcd panel driver is called prior to specific fb driver's one. In the case of MIPI-DSI based video mode LCD Panel, for lcd power off, the power off commands should be transferred to lcd panel with display and mipi-dsi controller enabled because the commands is set to lcd panel at vsync porch period. and in opposite case, the callback of fb driver should be called prior to lcd panel driver's one because of same issue. Also if fb_blank mode is changed to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN then display controller would be off(clock disable) but lcd panel would be still on. at this time, you could see some issue like sparkling on lcd panel because video clock to be delivered to ldi module of lcd panel was disabled. this issue could occurs for all lcd panels. The callback order is as the following: at fb_blank function of fbmem.c -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) -> lcd panel driver's early_set_power() -> info->fbops->fb_blank() -> spcefic fb driver's fb_blank() -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_BLANK) -> lcd panel driver's set_power() -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) if info->fops->fb_blank() was failed. fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) would be called to revert the effects of previous FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK call. and note that if early_set_power() of lcd_ops is NULL then early fb blank callback would be ignored. This patch: Add early_set_power and r_early_set_power callbacks. early_set_power callback is called prior to fb_blank() of fbmem.c and r_early_set_power callback is called if fb_blank() was failed to revert the effects of the early_set_power call of lcd panel driver.
