drm: Add support for a panel-orientation connector property, v6
On some devices the LCD panel is mounted in the casing in such a way that
the up/top side of the panel does not match with the top side of the
device (e.g. it is mounted upside-down).
This commit adds the necessary infra for lcd-panel drm_connector-s to
have a "panel orientation" property to communicate how the panel is
orientated vs the casing.
Userspace can use this property to check for non-normal orientation and
then adjust the displayed image accordingly by rotating it to compensate.
Changes in v2:
-Store panel_orientation in drm_display_info, so that drm_fb_helper.c can
access it easily
-Have a single drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property rather then
create and attach functions. The caller is expected to set
drm_display_info.panel_orientation before calling this, then this will
check for platform specific quirks overriding the panel_orientation and if
the panel_orientation is set after this then it will attach the property.
Changes in v6:
-Use an enum (with kerneldoc) rather then #defines for
DRM_MODE_PANEL_ORIENTATION_*
