Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ply-device-manager: Treat SimpleDRM drm devices as fbdev
 devices
 
Simple-framebuffer devices driven by simpledrm lack information
like panel-rotation info and physical size, causing the splash
to briefly render on its side / without HiDPI scaling, switching
to the correct rendering when the native driver loads.
 
To avoid this treat simpledrm devices as fbdev devices and only
use them after the timeout.
 
Also adds 2 exceptions to this:
 
1. If nomodeset is passed on the kernel commandline then no native
drivers will load, so in this case it is best to immediately use
SimpleDRM devices when they are detected.
 
2. On some devics the firmware leave the panel black at boot. In this
case it is desirable to show the splash to the user ASAP so that there
is some visual feedback that the device is booting. Add a support for a
"plymouth.use-simpledrm" kernel cmdline option to show the splash
immediately on SimpleDRM devices rather then waiting for the native
driver to load.
 
Closes #167
