This patchset adds the simpledrm driver by David Herrmann based on a
patchset[1] from 2014. That patchset also included patches for kicking
out simpledrm by real drivers. I have stayed away from that since it
involves another subsystem and I would probably be unable to answer any
questions about the implementation.
Need David's input on this, but I think the force-removal of simpledrm
when other drivers take over is required. Otherwise hilarity can ensue.
If we leave this out for the inital merge then I think we need a really
big warning in Kconfig that if people aren't careful it could result in a
kaboom.
I understand. I anticipated this, but I was hoping that if I moved this
part forward,
which I was capable of doing, maybe someone else could do the rest :-)
Anyways, if no one chimes in to do this, lets add a warning.
If you can, booting this on a vesa/uefi platform would be interesting too,
just to make sure.
I'm a bit limited here I'm afraid. I only have a Raspberry Pi to test with.
My other Linux installations are running on a VMware ESXi server.
Noralf.
