I'm very happy to hear that you're working on getting SimpleDRM ready for merging into the mainline, I actually wanted to discuss this with you at XDC and/or Plumbers, but I see that you're already on it, which is great. As for the whole discussion about adding resource management / "real hw support" to the simplefb bindings (which I assume SimpleDRM will support too), I too am fine with doing a new set of bindings for this under a different compatible string if that is what people want.
