This patch series extends the hwdb for an entry for the gc400 found
in the ST STM32 SoC. With this patches we report the same limits and
features for this GPU as the galcore kernel driver does.

Christian Gmeiner (6):
  drm/etnaviv: update hardware headers from rnndb
  drm/etnaviv: determine product, customer and eco id
  drm/etnaviv: show identity information in debugfs
  drm/etnaviv: update gc7000 chip identity entry
  drm/etnaviv: update hwdb selection logic
  drm/etnaviv: add hwdb entry for gc400 found in STM32

For future patches can you please incldue a small changelog
within each patch.

Something like

v2:
  - Drop redundant newlines (Lucas)

This serves several purposes:
- It explains what was changed since last version
- It allow the reader to focus on changed parts
- It attributes who requested a specific change
- It gives a good idea of the history of a patch

In the DRM sub-subsystem the idea is that if it is written it
should be visible in git too. So include the changelog part in the
normal commit-message.

To be honest.. I forgot the change log thing this time - sorry. So the rule
is to have the change log in the normal commit message?
Funny - Lucas told me something different:

"Please move those changelogs below the 3 dashes, so they don't end up
in the commit message. They don't really add any value to the
persistent kernel history."

It was small changes - so no worries.

This is what Danial Vetter tell people - but it is not documented as
far as I can tell.

Lucas is maintainer of etnaviv driver - so do as he says.

Keep up the good work on etnaviv in mesa too!
