    drm/panfrost: Add AFBC_FEATURES parameter · 3e2926f8

    The value of the AFBC_FEATURES register is required by userspace to
    determine AFBC support on Bifrost. A user on our IRC channel (#panfrost)
    reported a workload that raised a fault on one system's Mali G31 but
    worked flawlessly with another system's Mali G31. We determined the
    cause to be missing AFBC support on one vendor's Mali implementation --
    it turns out AFBC is optional on Bifrost!
    
    Whether AFBC is supported or not is exposed in the AFBC_FEATURES
    register on Bifrost, which reads back as 0 on Midgard. A zero value
    indicates AFBC is fully supported, provided the architecture itself
    supports AFBC, allowing backwards-compatibility with Midgard. Bits 0 and
    15 indicate that AFBC support is absent for texturing and rendering
    respectively.
    
    The user experiencing the fault reports that AFBC_FEATURES reads back
    0x10001 on their system, confirming the architectural lack of AFBC.
    Userspace needs this parameter to know to disable AFBC on that
    chip, and perhaps others.
    
    v2: Fix typo from copy-paste fail.
    
    v3: Bump the UABI version. This commit was cherry-picked from another
    series so chalking this up to a rebase fail.
