Some architectures use a cached framebuffer and flush the cache as needed
so that changes are visible. This is supported by U-Boot.
However x86 uses an uncached framebuffer with a 'write-combining' feature
to speed up writes. Reads are permitted but they are extremely expensive.
Unfortunately, reading from the frame buffer is quite common, e.g. to
scroll it. This makes scrolling very slow.
Add a new feature which supports copying modified parts of the frame
buffer to the uncached hardware buffer. This speeds up scrolling by at
least 10x on x86 so the extra complexity cost seems worth it.
As a starting point, add the Kconfig, update the video structures to keep
track of the buffer and add a function to do the copy.

The video console for DM_VIDEO compliant drivers only understands a very
small number of ANSI sequences. First and foremost it misses the "reverse
video" command, which is used by our own bootmenu command to highlight
the selected entry.
To avoid forcing people to use their imagination when using the
bootmenu, let's just implement the rather simple reverse effect. We need
to store the background colour index for that, so that we can
recalculate both the foreground and background colour pixel values.

At present line_length is always calculated in video_post_probe(). But

It is useful to be able to invert the colours in some cases so that the
text matches the background colour. Add a parameter to the function to
support this.
It is strange that function takes a private data structure from another
driver as an argument. It seems better to pass the device and have the
function internally work out how to find its required information.

At present there are many situations where sandbox syncs the display to
the SDL frame buffer. This is a very expensive operation but is only
needed every now and then. Update video_sync() so that we can specify
whether this operation is really needed.
At present this flag is not used on other architectures. It could also
be used for reducing writeback-cache flushes but the benefit of that would
need to be investigated.

U-Boot has separate code for LCDs and 'video' devices. Both now use a
very similar API thanks to earlier work by Nikita Kiryanov. With the driver-
model conversion we should unify these into a single uclass.
Unfortunately there are different features supported by each. This
implementation provides for a common set of features which should serve
most purposes. The intent is to support:
- bitmap devices with 8, 16 and 32 bits per pixel
- text console wih white on black or vice versa
- rotated text console
- bitmap display (BMP format)
More can be added as additional boards are ported over to use driver model
for video.
The name 'video' is chosen for the uclass since it is more generic than LCD.
Another option would be 'display' but that would introduce a third concept
to U-Boot which seems like the wrong approach.
The existing LCD and video init functions are not needed now, so this uclass
makes no attempt to implement them.

At present stdio device functions do not get any clue as to which stdio
device is being acted on. Some implementations go to great lengths to work
around this, such as defining a whole separate set of functions for each
possible device.
For driver model we need to associate a stdio_dev with a device. It doesn't
seem possible to continue with this work-around approach.
Instead, add a stdio_dev pointer to each of the stdio member functions.
Note: The serial drivers have the same problem, but it is not strictly
necessary to fix that to get driver model running. Also, if we convert
serial over to driver model the problem will go away.
Code size increases by 244 bytes for Thumb2 and 428 for PowerPC.
