Subject: [PATCH] fbcon: Add fbcon_rotate_hint to struct fb_info
Git-commit: c9e6a36492504e35f09c6a53e18ac3f76233365e
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: FATE#322643 bsc#1055900

On some hardware the LCD panel is not mounted upright in the casing,
but upside-down or rotated 90 degrees. In this case we want the console
to automatically be rotated to compensate.

The fbdev-driver may know about the need to rotate. Add a new
fbcon_rotate_hint field to struct fb_info, which gets initialized to -1.
If the fbdev-driver knows that some sort of rotation is necessary then
it can set this field to a FB_ROTATE_* value to tell the fbcon console
driver to rotate the console.
