Thomas Zimmermann 90f479ae51 drm/mgag200: Replace struct mga_fbdev with generic framebuffer emulation
This patch replaces mgag200's framebuffer console with DRM's generic
implememtation. All respective code is being removed from the driver.

The console is set up with a shadow buffer. The actual buffer object is
not permanently pinned in video ram, but just another buffer object that
the driver moves in and out of vram as necessary. The driver's function
mga_crtc_do_set_base() used to contain special handling for the framebuffer
console. With the new generic framebuffer, the driver does not need this
code an longer.

For consistency, this patch also changes the preferred framebuffer depth.
The original code used 24 bpp by default and 32 bpp for the framebuffer. As
24 bpp is not well supported by userspace anyway, setting 32 bpp as default
makes sense.

v2:
	* rely on fbdev helpers error messages
	* document changes to preferred depth
	* dirty function no longer required

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
