Hi Sam,

this looks like a good solution to me. I'd give you a detailed review, but dri-devel decided to only send me the color letter. I had to use patchwork get the patches.

For the series

Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@xxxxxxx>

with suggestions below.

We have an upcoming openchrome driver for VIA where some
of the files conflicts with the existing via driver.

It is not acceptable to just delete the existing DRI1
based driver as there are most likely users out there,
so a different approach was required.

It was disccussed what to do and the least invasive
solution was to keep the DRI1 driver in the current
directory as a single file.

Thomas Zimmermann already posted a patch to do the
same but it attemped to have a single driver
for the DRI1 and the upcoming new driver.

After the openchrome patches land, there will be an option in Kconfig to build the old driver instead of of the new one?


This patchset embeds the files one by one to make the
diffs remotely readable and end up with an independent
DRI1 driver.

The driver was built tested for each step.

The driver is in the end renamed to via_dri1.
Some feedback on this would be good as I do not know
what impact it will have on users.

I don't know how Mesa decides about which userspace driver to load, but It seems related to the name of the kernel driver. Renaming the module might interfere somehow. But if the old and new driver are mutually exclusive at build time, it should not be a problem to use the same name for both modules.


The very last patch synchronize the via_3d_reg header
file with the one used in the openchrome driver.
This was added to verify that the new header would not
break the DRI1 driver.

Some of the macros introduce line wraps. I don't know if you did that intentionally, but it shouldn't be necessary. We have a 100-character limit per line.

Maybe you can also add an extra patch that adds SPDX license tags at the top of the files.

Best regard
Thomas
