The SH-Mobile HDMI driver runs in several contexts: ISR, delayed work-queue,
task context, when called from the sh_mobile_lcdc framebuffer driver. This
creates ample race possibilities. Even though most these races are purely
theoretical, it is better to close them. To trace fb_info validity we install a
notification callback in the HDMI driver, and the only way for it to get to
driver internal data is by using struct sh_mobile_lcdc_chan, therefore it had
to be extracted into a separate common header.
