a794c4b1b2 ubb-vga: avoid diodes; redesign for luminance bit (Y) and MMC controller
- ubb-vga.sch: use resistive divider instead of diodes
- ubb-vga.sch, ubb-vga.c (VSYNC): moved VSYNC from DAT3 to CLK to make
  all MMC data lines available for pixel data
- ubb-vga.sch, ubb-vga.c (R): moved red from DAT2 to DAT3 for convenient
  access to the 4th channel
- ubb-vga.sch: added luminance (Y) channel
- ubb-vga.sch: added pull-down to HSYNC/CMD, for later use with the MMC
  controller
- ubb-vga.c (pdfuns, pdfunc, ben_setup, setup): make UBB signals GPIOs,
  in case someone left them in a different configuration

67107d0062 ubb-vga: option -d to double the number of set/clear pairs, improving resolution
- README: added compatibility of double mode
- ubb-vga.c (usage, main): new option -d to double the number of set/clear
  pairs (making lines longer and the apparent pixel clock slower)
- ubb-vga.c (grab, session, main): have a complete set/clear pair for each
  pixel in double mode

dab839ab66 ubb-vga.c: moved line length and timing to variables
- ubb-vga.c (line_pairs, line, frame, tricolor, grid, session): line
  length is now kept in a variable, instead of hard-coding its value
  and the values derived from it
- ubb-vga.c (line_cycles, line, hdelay): the total line duration is now
  kept in a variable, instead of hard-coding it all over the place

dae21696b3 ubb-vga.c: a bit more cleanup
- ubb-vga.c: added more section titles
- ubb-vga.c (pick, pattern): grouped pixel-generating functions with
  image generation
- ubb-vga.c (usage, main): properly parse command-line options ("getopt"
  is a bit of overkill at the moment but will be needed later)

8bd7199d9e ubb-vga.c: removed commented-out code from earlier experiments
The history of the split prefetch code:

Once up on a time, I thought that it was important to stay very close
to the "official" pixel clock. We could do this when copying 32 bit
words from cache to the GPIO set/clear registers, but not when
shifting 8 bit values as we do now.

One problem with 32 bit values is that transferring that amount of
data exceeds the time available in the hsync pulse. Hence the idea
to split the prefetch between hsync pulse and horizontal front porch.

Note that we also split prefetches between the two VGA lines of each
QVGA line. This commit does not change that mechanism.

- ubb-vga.c (line, frame): removed code fragments for prefetch split
  between hsync pulse and front porch
- ubb-vga.c (line, frame): remove code fragments for measuring time
  relative to the rising edge of hsync (and letting the prefetch time
  control the hsync length), not the falling edge
