Currently, Panfrost only supports MMU configuration in "LEGACY" (as
Bifrost calls it) mode, a (modified) version of LPAE "Large Physical
Address Extension", which in Linux we've called "mali_lpae".

This commit adds support for conditionally enabling AARCH64_4K page
table format. To achieve that, a "GPU optional quirks" field was added
to `struct panfrost_features` with the related flag.

Note that, in order to enable AARCH64_4K mode, the GPU variant must have
the HW_FEATURE_AARCH64_MMU feature flag present.

NIT: It's always hard to see in the diff, but the alignment of the
second line is wrong. But I'll fix this up when merging.

Indeed, you're right. Thanks for the nitpick!

Happy to see this hitting drm-misc-next soon :)
