[PATCH RESEND v12 0/4] Panel rotation patches

Hello!

This series adds support for display panel's DT rotation property. It's a
continuation of the work that was initially started by Derek Basehore for
the panel driver that is used by some Mediatek device [1]. I picked up the
Derek's patches and added my t-b and r-b tags to them, I also added
rotation support to the panel-lvds and panel-simple drivers.

We need the rotation support for the Nexus 7 tablet device which is now
supported by the upstream kernel, the device has display panel mounted
upside-down and it uses panel-lvds [2].

Changelog:

v12: - No code changes. The v11 missed v5.9 release, re-sending patches
for the v5.10 kernel. Please review and apply patches to linux-next,
thanks in advance!

v11: - This series is factored out from this patchset [3] because these
patches do not have hard dependency on the Tegra DRM patches and
it should be nicer to review and apply the properly grouped patches.

- Initially [3] only touched the panel-lvds driver and Emil Velikov
suggested that it will be better to support more panels in the review
comments to [3]. So I included the Derek's patch for the BOE panel
and added rotation support to the panel-simple driver. I tested that
panel-lvds and panel-simple work properly with the rotated panel using
the Opentegra Xorg driver [4] and Wayland Weston [5].

- The panel-lvds driver now prints a error message if rotation property
fails to be parsed.
