No problem but just make it complicated as I mentioned above - the stream operations - S_FMT, REQBUF, QUARYBUF, QBUF, STREAM ON and DQBUF of V4L2 would never be simple as DRM.
Do you think M2M device should be controlled by V4L2 interfaces? and even 2D accelerator? As long as I know, The Graphics card on Desktop has all devices such as 2D/3D GPU, HW Video codec and Display controller, and these devices are controlled by DRM interfaces. So we - ARM Exynos - are trying to move these things to DRM world and also trying to implement more convenient interfaces like Marek did.
