Thomas Zimmermann dcacfcd35c drm/gem-dma: Compute dumb-buffer sizes with drm_mode_size_dumb()
Call drm_mode_size_dumb() to compute dumb-buffer scanline pitch and
buffer size. Align the pitch to a multiple of 8.

Push the current calculation into the only direct caller imx. Imx's
hardware requires the framebuffer width to be aligned to 8. The
driver's current approach is actually incorrect, as it only guarantees
this implicitly and requires bpp to be a multiple of 8 already. A
later commit will fix this problem by aligning the scanline pitch
such that an aligned width still fits into each scanline's memory.

A number of other drivers are build on top of gem-dma helpers and
implement their own dumb-buffer allocation. These drivers invoke
drm_gem_dma_dumb_create_internal(), which is not affected by this
commit.

v5:
- avoid reset of arguments (Tomi)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
