In some cases so much of the framebuffer is updated that it is not worth
copying the changes piece by piece to the copy framebuffer. Add a function
to copy the whole thing.

Some drivers like LCD connected via SPI requires explicit sync function
which copy framebuffer content over SPI to controller to display.
This hook doesn't exist yet that's why introduce it via video operations.

Try to maintain some consistency between these variables by using _plat as
a suffix for them.

We use 'priv' for private data but often use 'platdata' for platform data.
We can't really use 'pdata' since that is ambiguous (it could mean private
or platform data).

Rename some of the latter variables to end with 'plat' for consistency.

At present the 'bdinfo' command shows the framebuffer address, but not the
address of the copy framebuffer, if present. Add support for this.

<title>video: Add support for copying to a hardware framebuffer</title>

Some architectures use a cached framebuffer and flush the cache as needed
so that changes are visible. This is supported by U-Boot.

However x86 uses an uncached framebuffer with a 'write-combining' feature
to speed up writes.  Reads are permitted but they are extremely expensive.

Unfortunately, reading from the frame buffer is quite common, e.g. to
scroll it. This makes scrolling very slow.

Add a new feature which supports copying modified parts of the frame
buffer to the uncached hardware buffer. This speeds up scrolling by at
least 10x on x86 so the extra complexity cost seems worth it.

As a starting point, add the Kconfig, update the video structures to keep
track of the buffer and add a function to do the copy.
