Implement framebuffer I/O helpers, such as fb_read*() and fb_write*(),
in the architecture's <asm/fb.h> header file or the generic one.

The common case has been the use of regular I/O functions, such as
__raw_readb() or memset_io(). A few architectures used plain system-
memory reads and writes. Sparc used helpers for its SBus.

The architectures that used special cases provide the same code in
their __raw_*() I/O helpers. So the patch replaces this code with the
__raw_*() functions and moves it to <asm-generic/fb.h> for all
architectures.

v3:
	* implement all architectures with generic helpers
	* support reordering and native byte order (Geert, Arnd)

In reality they are now all implemented in the generic one.

Which is also documented here.

When we need to provide an architecture specific variant the
#ifndef foo
...
#define foo foo
can be added. Right now it is just noise as no architectures provide
their own variants.

But I am missing something somewhere as I cannot see how this builds.
asm-generic now provide the fb_read/fb_write helpers.
But for example sparc has an architecture specifc fb.h so it will not
use the asm-generic variant. So I wonder how sparc get hold of the
asm-generic fb.h file?

Maybe it is obvious, but I miss it.

This looks good for the read/write helpers, but I'm a little
worried about the memset and memcpy functions, since they do
change behavior on some architectures:

- on sparc64, fb_mem{set,cpy} uses ASI_PHYS_BYPASS_EC_E (like __raw_readb)
  while mem{set_,cpy_from,cpy_to} uses ASI_PHYS_BYPASS_EC_E_L (like readb)
  I don't know the effect of that, but it seems intentional

- on loongarch and csky, the _io variants avoid unaligned access,
  while the normal memcpy/memset is probably broken, so your
  patch is a bugfix

- on ia64, the _io variants use bytewise access and avoid any longer
  loads and stores, so your patch probably makes things slower.

It's probably safe to deal with all the above by either adding
architecture specific overrides to the current version, or
by doing the semantic changes before the move to asm/fb.h, but
one way or the other I'd prefer this to be separate from the
consolidation patch that should not have any changes in behavior.

The first paragraph documents the design intention, the other one the 
implementation. But I agree that it's not well phrased. I'll see if I 
can improve the text.

Given Arnd's comments, this might change. It also makes sense from a 
design POV.

All architecture's <asm/fb.h> files include <asm-generic/fb.h>, so that 
they all get the interfaces which they don't define themselves. For 
Sparc, this is at [1].

I think I'll add architecture overrides that contain the current code, 
even if they contain some force-casting wrt __iomem. If anyone wants to 
fix the issues, they can then address them easily.

OK, it was obvious and I missed it.
I looked at the mainline kernel, and not the drm-tip variant.
Sorry for the noise.
