Subject: [PATCH v2] video: simplefb: add mode parsing function
The naming scheme of simplefb's mode is precise enough to allow building
the mode structure from it instead of using a static list of modes. This
patch introduces a function that does this. In case exotic modes that
cannot be represented from their name alone are needed, the static list
of modes is still available as a backup.
It also changes the order in which colors are declared from MSB first to
the more standard LSB first.
Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@...dia.com>

Changes from v1:
- amended documentation following Stephen's suggestion
- allow parsing of bitfields larger than 9 bits
- made it clear that the parsing order of bits is changed with respect
to the original patch
Andrew, since this patch introduces a (small) change in the DT bindings,
could we try to merge it during the -rc cycle so we don't have to come
with a more complex solution in the future?

-- format: The format of the framebuffer surface. Valid values are:

+- format: The format of the framebuffer surface. Described as a sequence of

+ by a given color channel. Value channels are "r" (red), "g" (green),
