Echoing what others said, you're not making a DRM driver. The driver should live outside
of the DRM code.


Actually, this sounds to me like "this should not be merged into linux kernel". I mean,
we already have DRM API on Linux. We don't want another one, do we?

This driver doesn't have any display functionality.

And at the very least... this misses API docs for /dev/dxg. Code can't really
be reviewed without that.

The docs live here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/d3dkmthk/
