The function's behaviour was changed in 90844f0004, without changing
its signature, causing people to keep using it the old way without
realising they were now leaking memory.
Rob Clark also noticed it was also allocating GFP_KERNEL memory in
atomic contexts, breaking them.
Instead of having to allocate GFP_ATOMIC memory and fixing the callers
to make them cleanup the memory afterwards, let's change the function's
signature by having the caller take care of the memory and passing it to
the function.
The new parameter is a single-field struct in order to enforce the size
of its buffer and help callers to correctly manage their memory.

The function is only used by the drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct() core
function to fill the drm_framebuffer bpp and depth fields, used by
drivers that haven't been converted to use pixel formats directly yet.
It should not be used by new drivers, so inline it in its only caller.

The format helpers have historically treated unsupported formats as part
of the default case, returning values that are likely wrong. We can't
change this behaviour now without risking breaking drivers in difficult
to detect ways, but we can WARN on unsupported formats to catch faulty
callers.
The only exception is the framebuffer_check() function that calls
drm_format_info() to validate the format passed from userspace. This is
a valid use case that shouldn't generate a warning.

Turn the drm_format_*() helpers into wrappers around the drm_format_info
lookup function to centralize all format information in a single place.

Various pieces of information about DRM formats (number of planes, color
depth, chroma subsampling, ...) are scattered across different helper
functions in the DRM core. Callers of those functions often need to
access more than a single parameter of the format, leading to
inefficiencies due to multiple lookups.
Centralize all format information in a data structure and create a
function to look up information based on the format 4CC.
