drm/mipi-dbi: Add support for DRM_FORMAT_RGB888

DRM_FORMAT_RGB888 is 24 bits per pixel and it would be natural to send it
on the SPI bus using a 24 bits per word transfer. The problem with this
is that not all SPI controllers support 24 bpw.

Since DRM_FORMAT_RGB888 is stored in memory as little endian and the SPI
bus is big endian we use 8 bpw to always get the same pixel format on the
bus: b8g8r8.

The MIPI DCS specification lists the standard commands that can be sent
over the MIPI DBI interface. The set_address_mode (36h) command has one
bit in the parameter that controls RGB/BGR order. This means that the
controller can be configured to receive the pixel as BGR.

RGB888 is rarely supported on these controllers but RGB666 is very common.
All datasheets I have seen do at least support the pixel format option
where each color is sent as one byte and the 6 MSB's are used.

All this put together means that we can send each pixel as b8g8r8 and an
RGB666 capable controller sees this as b6x2g6x2r6x2.
