I did deliberately put it at the top-level, as AFBC is implemented by
IPs from many different vendors. The intention of this file is to try
and ensure interop between those different vendors' drivers. I fear
that if we namespace it 'arm' then it will be regarded as
Arm-specific, whereas it's meant to set the standard for the AFBC
implementations in all vendors' DRM drivers. That only applies if they
use the AFBC modifiers Arm has defined, but IMO that's what we should
be pushing for instead of having each vendor define their own local
AFBC modifiers, because that will make interop a nightmare. The Arm
definitions should cover all conformant implementations.
AFBC is a relatively well-established name, whereas arm-fbc is not a
term anyone will be familiar with. We could name the file
"arm-afbc.rst", though I am slightly against namespacing it that way
for the reason mentioned above - it does/will/should apply to more
than just the gpu/drm/arm tree.
Best regards,
-Brian
