Thx Kelley/Reding for comments, Yes, the vxd392 is a totally different IP and it also exist on Intel's non-GEN platforms such as Merrifield. If we put it inside i915 there'll be issue if we someday supports Merrifield. -----Original Message----- From: Sean V Kelley [mailto:sean.v.kelley@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 11:51 PM To: Thierry Reding Cc: Cheng, Yao; Vetter, Daniel; intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Jiang, Fei; DRI mailing list Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 0/3] drm driver for baytrail's vxd392 On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 4:53 AM, Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 08:15:00PM +0800, Yao Cheng wrote: >> drm/ipvr is a new GEM driver for baytrail's vxd392, which accelerates VP8 video decoding. >> The driver name "ipvr" means the PowerVR's IP wrapped by Intel.

It is an entirely unrelated HW IP block, VXD392. Nothing to do with GEN aside from DRM based.
