Merge tag 'of_videomode_helper' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/str/linux into drm-next
videomode helpers for of + devicetree stuff, required for new kms drivers
(not the fbdev maintainer).
* tag 'of_videomode_helper' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/str/linux:
drm_modes: add of_videomode helpers
drm_modes: add videomode helpers
fbmon: add of_videomode helpers
fbmon: add videomode helpers
video: add of helper for display timings/videomode
video: add display_timing and videomode
viafb: rename display_timing to via_display_timing
