Over the last several years the DPU driver has been actively developed,
while the MDP5 is mostly in the maintenance mode. This results in some
features being available only in the DPU driver. For example, bandwidth
scaling, writeback support, properly supported bonded DSI aka dual DSI
support.

All the pre-SDM845 platforms were originally supported by the MDP5
driver only. However it is possible and easy to support some of the
older SoCs in the DPU driver. For example in the v5.18 it got
support for MSM8998.  This can not be considered as a proper migration,
since there msm8998.dtsi didn't describe the display hardware
beforehand. Instead new bindings were added, making MSM8998 just another
display hardware to be supported by the DPU driver.

This series provides a way to gradually migrate support for several
existing and well-supported SoCs from the MDP5 to the DPU driver without
changing the DT. From the user experience point of view this is
facilitated by the `msm.prefer_mdp5' kernel param. If the parameter is
set to `true' (current default), all `shared' platforms will be handled
by the MDP5 driver. If the switch is flipped to `false' (or if the MDP5
driver is disabled), these platforms will be handled by the DPU driver.
Handling this by the modparam (rather than solely by kernel config)
allows one to easly switch between the drivers, simplifying testing.

This series implements support for two DPU 3.n platforms, SDM660 and
SDM630, and a classical MDP5 1.7 (MSM8996) SoC. It should be easy to
implement similar support for MSM8937 aka SDM430, MSM8917 aka SDM425,
MSM8953 aka SDM625 / SDM632 / SDM450 and QCS405. They were left out
beacuse of the lack of the hardware on my side. Then it should be
relatively easy to also add support for MSM8992, MSM8994, MSM8956 and
MSM8976. The major missing piece is the SharedMemoryPool, SMP.

In theory after additional testing we can drop most of migration code
and some parts of MDP5 driver. The proposed boundary is to move all
platforms supporting cursor planes to the DPU driver, while limiting
MDP5 to support only the older platforms which implement cursor as a
part of the LM hardware block (MSM8974, APQ8084, MSM8x26, MSM8x16 and
MSM8x39).
