Sure! I will be glad to take some time to review your code :)

I can also try to test it on my current implementation of VKMS.
One question, I have a NanoPc-T1 device [1] which has a Mali GPU, can I
test the writeback feature in this device? All kind of Mali GPU has
support for the writeback feature?
