This kills off all of the dl_xxx() printk wrappers and simply stubs in a
pr_fmt() definition to accomplish the same thing.

udlfb has undergone a fair bit of cleanup recently and is effectively at
the point where it can be liberated from staging purgatory and promoted
to a real driver.
The outstanding cleanups are all minor, with some of them dependent on
drivers/video headers, so these will be done incrementally from udlfb's
new home.

Fix fb_defio bug in udlfb for multiple framebuffers
Previously when using fb_defio with multiple DisplayLink attached displays
udlfb incorrectly used a shared datastructure where it needed to have
one per fb_info struct. This was completely broken and caused all kinds of
problems, including rendering to one framebuffer affecting others.

Add module options for console and fb_defio
Convert fb_defio on/off switch to module option and add console option.
>From the command line, pass options to modprobe
modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1
Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text
options udlfb defio=1 console=1
Accepted options:
fb_defio Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel
module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults.
Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not
report damage, may be able to work with this enabled.
Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues.
console Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This
is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume
the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the
user wants in the case of USB displays.

Enhance EDID and mode table handling
* Adds support for lower-end DL chips on higher-end monitors
* Adds support for using fbdev standard EDID parsing and handling
* Adds support for more dynamic reallocation of framebuffer, based on new EDID
Queries EDID from hardware with several retries then
queries DisplayLink chip for max pixel area via vendor descriptor.
Uses existing fbdev mode handling service funcations to build mode list
of common modes between adapter and monitor.
This enables lower-end chips (e.g. DL-125) to successfully pick a compatible
mode on higher end monitors (e.g. whose default mode is over 1280x1024).
Reallocate framebuffer if necessary in response to new max mode.

Revamp reference handling and synchronization for unload/shutdown
Udlfb is a "virtual" framebuffer device that really exists on
two separate stacks: at the bottom of the framebuffer interface,
and on top of USB. During unload, there's no guarantee which
one will tear down first. So reference counting must be solid
to handle all possibilities and not access anything once its gone.

Rework rendering for improved performance
Approx 10-20% gain avg across several "benchmarks": x11perf, gtkperf, glxgears
Moves from a single pre-alloc'd urb protected by a long-held mutex
To a list of (4) pre-alloc'd urbs which can be dispatched asynchonously
Improved rendering algorithm to hardware with lower CPU consumption,
fewer system memory accesses, and slightly higher compression.
Better scalability to multiple processors, especially with
multiple framebuffers active.

Rework probe to use refcounts and std functions
Because the different parts of the driver (usb, fbdev) tear down
in different orders, the driver previously could crash accessing
data that had already been freed. Refcounting system used to handle.
Reworked probe to make use of refcounts, set mode using std fbops,
and set up sysfs and pre-allocated urbs.

Add sysfs controls for edid and performance metrics
There are 8 new files exposed in /sys/class/graphics/fb*
edid - returns 128 byte edid blog, suitable for parsing with parse-edid
metrics_bytes_identical
metrics_bytes_rendered
metrics_bytes_sent
metrics_cpu_kcycles_used
metrics_misc
and metrics_reset, which resets all perf metrics to zero
The 6 perf metrics are of type atomic_t.
So these metrics return precise results for short benchmarks, but
any test approx a minute or longer runtime may roll over.

Add functions to pre-allocate and free usb bulk urbs for core render path.
Udlfb currently allocates a single urb, guarded by a mutex, that is a key
bottleneck. Because udlfb sends so much data, preallocation is most efficient.
Functions will be used by new rendering functions in later patches.

Add dynamic modeset support
udlfb uses EDID to find the monitor’s preferred mode
udlfb no longer has fixed mode tables – it’s able to set any mode
dynamically, from the standard VESA timing characteristics of the monitor.
Draws from probe and setmode code of both displaylink-mod 0.3 branch of
Roberto De Ioris, and Jaya Kumar's displaylinkfb.
Lays foundation for defio support and making backbuffer optional.
With additional changes to minimize diffs and clean for checkpatch.pl style.
Does not yet include new ioctls or refcount/mutex code from displaylink-mod.
Tested to work with existing xf-video-displaylink X server unmodified.
