Add support to convert from XR24 to reversed monochrome for drivers that

The function does a line-by-line conversion doing an intermediate step
first from XR24 to 8-bit grayscale and then to reversed monochrome.

The drm_fb_gray8_to_mono_reversed_line() helper was based on code from
drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/repaper.c driver.

...

+static void drm_fb_gray8_to_mono_reversed_line(u8 *dst, const u8 *src, unsigned int pixels,
+ unsigned int start_offset, unsigned int end_len)
+{
+ unsigned int xb, i;
+
+ for (xb = 0; xb < pixels; xb++) {
+ unsigned int start = 0, end = 8;
+ u8 byte = 0x00;

+ if (xb == 0 && start_offset)
+ start = start_offset;

This is invariant to the loop, can be moved out.

+ if (xb == pixels - 1 && end_len)
+ end = end_len;

Ditto. However it may require to factor out the following loop to a helper.

Splitting the loop is much nicer, but leaves corner cases where start and end is in the same byte. Doing this sounds like a premature optimization to me.

Best regards

+ byte |= BIT(7);

+ *dst++ = byte;
+ }
+}

...

round_up() ?

I would move this to the if conditional, i.e.

if (dst_pitch)
WARN_ONCE(dst_pitch % 8 != 0, "dst_pitch is not a multiple of 8\n");
else
dst_pitch = round_up(linepixels, 8);

size_add() ?
