Agree with you. It would be a good chance to clarify what we need to share same device driver without any regress in this time.

Yeah, most of ARM systems have various separate devices but DRM subsytem wanted each ARM driver to work like one device driver for all of them. And the component framework has been adopted by several ARM DRM drivers for it including Exynos.

This may be one of what we have to clarify. I think ARM DRM drivers need component framework or similar thing to address probing order issue.
So would we need to enhance existing compoent framework to be suitable for DRM subsystem, or introducing an alternative solution?
Otherwise, would there be some way to address the probing order issue without the compoment framework?

Thanks for explanation and seems correct direction. :) However, there would be something we have to address before changing the existing modeling because any regress shouldn't be allowed.
Thanks,
