tinydrm provides a very simplified view of DRM for displays that has

Can we just drop "date" and "desc" from new drivers? It doesn't add any value.

We usually prefer "unregister()" to stay consistent with "register()".

Whatever your .load() callback does, do that here and drop it. It is
really not needed. Optionally do it before calling drm_dev_register(),
depending on which semantics you want.

Ok.

In general, this looks very similar to what I did with SimpleDRM.

SimpleDRM was the first drm code I studied and tinydrm started with chunks
of code from it :-)

However, I wonder whether we can make it more modular. Right now it
always adds code for fbdev, CMA, backlight, etc., but as Daniel
mentioned those better live in DRM-core helpers.

Yes I will make the next version more modular.
Instead of trying to guess which parts would fit as core helpers, I just
put everything into one module and posted an RFC hoping to get some feedback.
I will try an implement the suggestions Daniel has made.

I'll try forward porting the SimpleDRM drivers to it, and let you know
whether it works out.

Thanks
David
