Tomi Valkeinen 32ed6ef133 videomode: create enum for videomode's display flags
Instead of having plain defines for the videomode's flags, add an enum
for the flags. This makes the flags clearer to use, as the enum tells
which values can be used with the flags field.

Tomi Valkeinen 06a3307975 videomode: combine videomode dmt_flags and data_flags
Both videomode and display_timing contain flags describing the modes.
These are stored in dmt_flags and data_flags. There's no need to
separate these flags, and having separate fields just makes the flags
more difficult to use.

This patch combines the fields and renames VESA_DMT_* flags to
DISPLAY_FLAGS_*.

Steffen Trumtrar 8714c0cecf video: add display_timing and videomode
Add display_timing structure and the according helper functions. This allows
the description of a display via its supported timing parameters.

Also, add helper functions to convert from display timings to a generic videomode
structure.

The struct display_timing specifies all needed parameters to describe the signal
properties of a display in one mode. This includes
    - ranges for signals that may have min-, max- and typical values
    - single integers for signals that can be on, off or are ignored
    - booleans for signals that are either on or off

As a display may support multiple modes like this, a struct display_timings is
added, that holds all given struct display_timing pointers and declares the
native mode of the display.

Although a display may state that a signal can be in a range, it is driven with
fixed values that indicate a videomode. Therefore graphic drivers don't need all
the information of struct display_timing, but would generate a videomode from
the given set of supported signal timings and work with that.

The video subsystems all define their own structs that describe a mode and work
with that (e.g. fb_videomode or drm_display_mode). To slowly replace all those
various structures and allow code reuse across those subsystems, add struct
videomode as a generic description.

This patch only includes the most basic fields in struct videomode. All missing
fields that are needed to have a really generic video mode description can be
added at a later stage.
