[PATCH v5 05/16] drm/vkms: Add dummy pixel_read/pixel_write callbacks to avoid NULL pointers

[Louis Chauvet <louis.chauvet@bootlin.com>]

Introduce two callbacks which does nothing. They are used in replacement
of NULL and it avoid kernel OOPS if this NULL is called.

If those callback are used, it means that there is a mismatch between
what formats are announced by atomic_check and what is realy supported by
atomic_update.
