Add helpers to convert between q4 fixed point and integer/fraction values. Also add the format/argument macros required to printk q4 fixed point variables. The q4 notation is based on the short variant described by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format) where only the number of fraction bits in the fixed point value are defined, while the full size is deducted from the container type, that is the size of int for these helpers. Using the fxp_ prefix, which makes moving these helpers outside of drm to a more generic place easier, if they prove to be useful. These are needed by later patches dumping the Display Stream Compression configuration in DRM core and in the i915 driver to replace the corresponding bpp_x16 helpers defined locally in the driver. v2: Use the more generic/descriptive fxp_q4 prefix instead of drm_x16.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
