This reverts commit b1ee26bab1, along with
the "fixes" for it that all just caused problems:
- c4c6fa9891 "radeonfb: fix problem with
color expansion & alignment"
- f3179748a1 "radeonfb: Disable new color
expand acceleration unless explicitely enabled"
because even when disabled, it breaks for people. See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12191
for the latest example.

Implement support for HW color expansion of 1bpp images, along with some
improvements to the FIFO handling and other accel operations.
The offset fixup code is now unnecessary as the fbcon core will call our
set_par upon switch back from KD_GRAPHICS before anything else happens. I
removed it as it would slow down accel operations.
The fifo wait has been improved to avoid hitting the HW register as often,
and the various accel ops are now performing better caching of register
values.
Overall, this improve accel performances. The imageblit acceleration does
result in a small overall regression in performances on some machines (on
the order of 5% on some x86), probably becaus the SW path provides a
better bus utilisation, but I decided to ingnore that as the performances
is still very good, and on the other hand, some machines such as some
sparc64 get a 3 fold performance improvement.

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.
One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

Move the setting/unsetting of pmac_backlight into the
backlight core instead of doing it in each driver.

fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't
need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is
consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes.
Fix the drivers to use the order:
backlight_device_register()
register_framebuffer()
unregister_framebuffer()
backlight_device_unregister()
and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.
Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.

This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
