I think at the design level we're getting there, yay! Bunch of
comments/suggestions/ideas on patch one.

It looks like the patch 7 is missing though, since the fancy formats where
you have no linear layout isn't enabled in mali-dp (afaics at least).
Depending what those look like, my suggestion to require drivers to use
->get_format_info instead might or might not work.

Cheers, Daniel
