On both my A13-OLinuxIno and my A13-OLinuxIno-Micro, the vga output gives an
unstable image when active low v or hsync is used.
The problem seems to be specific to the OLinuxIno A13 (normal & micro)
boards. I've just looked up the schematics and they use an opendrain driver
for the vga sync lines, and with sync pulses it is the logical high->low
edge of the pulse which counts for the timing, which with an active low
sync is being driven by the pull-up, and that simply seems to not drive
it hard enough to get a stable image.
So force v and hsync active high on these boards. independent of what the
modeline says. This fixes the unstable image.

Testing has shown that on sun4i the display backend engine does not have
deep enough fifo-s causing flickering / tearing in full-hd mode due to
fifo underruns. On sun4i use the display frontend engine to do the dma from
memory, as the frontend does have deep enough fifo-s.
As added advantage of this is that it results in much better memory bandwidth
as it reduces the amount of dram bank switches, for more details see:

While running some tests with an Olinuxino-A13-Micro + a 7" Olimex LCD module
I noticed that the screen flickered. This is caused by the lcd display clk
phase reg value being set to 0, where it should be 1 in this setup.
This commit adds a Kconfig option for the lcd display clk phase, so that we
can set it per board. This defaults to 1, because looking at all the fex
files in sunxi-boards, that is by far the most used value.
This commit updated the Ippo and MSI Primo73 tablet defconfigs to override the
default of 1 with 0, as that is the correct value for those tablets, this
keeps the register settings the same as before this commit.
The Olinuxino-A13 defconfigs are not updated, changing the register setting
for these boards from 0 to 1, this is intentional.

In some extreme cases it may be necessary to wait 1.5 seconds or more for a hpd
signal to show up (and be able to read edid info), but we do not want to
penalize all headless boots with an extra second boot delay, so add a hpd_delay
parameter which can be set through the video-mode env. variable.
While at it raise the default from 300ms to 500ms as 300 may very well be too

without HDMI support for use with the A23.
Also the A23 has the same reset bits (and necessity to enable the DRC block)

Add a write to the "unknown" (*) register to enable auto input sync, when
initially adding sunxi hdmi output support this magic write from the android
kernel code was missed, causing lcdc -> hdmi encoder sync problems.
With this write added, we can drop the modesetting retries and the extra
delays added to work around these sync problems.
With the retries dropped there also is no need to 0 all the enable flags at
the beginning of the modeset, as they are initialized to 0 already by
engines_init.
*) "unknown" is the actual name of this register in the android kernel sources

This adds a fixed mode hdmi driver for the sunxi platform. The fixed
mode is a relatively safe 1024x768, more complete EDID handling is
currently not provided. Only HDMI is supported today.
This code is enabled when HPD detects an attached monitor.
Current config is such that 8MB is shaved off at the top of the RAM.
This avoids several memory handling issues, most significant is the fact
that on linux on ARM you are not allowed to remap known RAM as IO. A
clued in display driver will be able to recycle this reserved RAM in
future though.
cfbconsole was chosen as it provides the most important functionality: a
working u-boot console, allowing for the debugging of certain issues
without the need for a UART.
