The function's behaviour was changed in 90844f0004, without changing
its signature, causing people to keep using it the old way without
realising they were now leaking memory.
Rob Clark also noticed it was also allocating GFP_KERNEL memory in
atomic contexts, breaking them.
Instead of having to allocate GFP_ATOMIC memory and fixing the callers
to make them cleanup the memory afterwards, let's change the function's
signature by having the caller take care of the memory and passing it to
the function.
The new parameter is a single-field struct in order to enforce the size
of its buffer and help callers to correctly manage their memory.

The function is only used by the drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct() core
function to fill the drm_framebuffer bpp and depth fields, used by
drivers that haven't been converted to use pixel formats directly yet.
It should not be used by new drivers, so inline it in its only caller.

While reviewing docs I spotted that we have a few functions that
really just don't fit into their containing helper library section.
Extract them and shovel them all into a new library for random one-off
aux stuff.
v2: Remove wrongly added files for real.
