Also reorder includes into the common order.

I think it's ok to use this for backwards compat reasons with userspace
that simply expects xrgb8888, but adding monochrome fourcc codes to drm
isn't hard, and I think would be better to do that here.

There's also my comment from earlier that too much of tinydrm is in
tinydrm, and maybe we should move some of it out (we already have
tinydrm_xrgb8888_to_rgb565). But looks ok otherwise.
I'm not sure that tinydrm_xrgb8888_to_rgb565 and tinydrm_xrgb8888_to_gray8
does fit in the core as-is, because they work around the fact that
cma memory has uncached reads by buffering one pixel line at a time.

I have been aware that the cma library isn't really a prefect match for
tinydrm because of this (but it was easy to use). For tiny displays this
isn't really a performance problem to speak of, but I see now that it
limits which gpus that I can import buffers from, since cma requires
continous memory. This is probably the reason the Grain Media driver
couldn't use tinydrm or that it needed that shmem thing.
Hm, might be good to port tinydrm to plain gem shmem objects? We have a
bunch of gem shmem based simple drivers know, so if helpers aren't as
comprehensive as with cma that can be fixed (and I'm trying other driver
submitters to volunteer for that already).

I'll see if I can use gem/prime code from vgem coupled with prime import
code from udl. The spi core claims to do dma transfers on vmalloc
addreses, so it seems possible.
Still feeling guilty for volunteering you for everything, but would be
awesome if you can make it happen. I think there's other drivers in-flight
(or even merged) which could benefit from parts of this at least.
I'm volunteering myself this time :-)
Much better to write a library that smart people will improve upon,
than to put something in tinydrm that nobody looks at.
Awesome.

A couple of questions:

- Can the pages be vmap'ed at object creation time, or should this be
   an explicit function call? I see some drivers being explicit, but
   tinydrm will always need that virtual address.
On 32bit kernels (still exists) vmap space can be severly constrained. I
think we should only do that if necessary. It's also not the cheapest
thing to do.

- Several drivers have cache flags on the gem object used when mmap'ing,
like udl here:

static void update_vm_cache_attr(struct udl_gem_object *obj,
                  struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
     /* non-cacheable as default. */
     if (obj->flags & UDL_BO_CACHEABLE) {
         vma->vm_page_prot = vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags);
     } else if (obj->flags & UDL_BO_WC) {
         vma->vm_page_prot =
             pgprot_writecombine(vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags));
     } else {
         vma->vm_page_prot =
             pgprot_noncached(vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags));
     }
}

Should I do this in the gem shmem library?
drm_driver->gem_create_object can be used by the driver to set the flag.
Cache flags is a can of worms, since it's all very ill-defined. Especially
as soon as you get into buffer sharing. The primary reason for that are:
- whether something is coherent or uncached for dma depends upon the
   platform/device and is deeply hidden in the platform/architecture code.
   But for gpus you need to manage this manually, for performance reasons.
   drm drivers get to do a lot of ad-hoc hand-rolling as a result.

- Some drm drivers (specifically i915) break the platforms assumption
   about cache coherency for dma by making it tuneable on a per-op or at
   least per-buffer basis.

Best option might be to have support for cached/wc/uncached and let
drivers change that as you describe. Not sure what the default should be
(as said, it's a mess and pretty much not possible to be fully generic).

- And I assume it's better to create a new library instead of
   extending the CMA library? Even though most of the code will be the same.
   Like this: drm_gem_shmem_helper.{c,h} and drm_fb_shmem_helper.{c,h}
Yeah, I'd go with a separate library. If you can exactly reuse code and it
makes sense to do, then we can always put the shared code into a
drm_gem.c (that kinda contains both helper and core code) or
drm_fbdev_helper.c (for the fbdev setup stuff). But dma_alloc_coherent vs
shmem backed gem buffers are rather different.

Another question:

I have looked at how drm drivers use vmap() and found consistency in
the flags and prot arguments except for i915 and udl. Should I follow
the majority and always use VM_MAP and pgprot_writecombine(PAGE_KERNEL) ?
