Add function omapdss_hdmi_display_get_timing() which returns the timings

This function is just intended to be used once during the panel driver's probe.
It makes sense for those interfaces which can be configured to a default timing.
I'm not sure about this patch. So I think the basic idea here is that
HDMI will use VGA video mode if, for whatever reason, no better mode is
found out.
After this change, the panel driver doesn't seem to do that. Instead it
uses whatever mode was used previously by the hdmi output driver.
Is the only reason for this patch to clean up the hdmi_panel driver? We
could have a dss helper function which returns the timings for VGA
(well, just a public const variable would be enough), and the panel
driver could use that to initialize the timings struct.
Yes, that's the only reason, basically, to sync the panel with the
timings to which the hdmi output driver configured itself during it's
probe. We don't use hdmi_get_timing anywhere apart from here.
I thought it would be clean to retrieve the timings by taking whatever
is stored in the hdmi output driver, but we could leave it to a
hardcoded VGA as before.
I have done the same for venc, let me know if you think these should be
removed.
