I'd also appreciate having something there. Similar to the count of
similar warnings that Rob is sometimes posting, I personally don't
see those apart from checking my boards (msm8226, msm8974, msm8953,
sm6350), where I recently did a cleanup spree for 8974 for low-hanging
fruit. Of course given that not every device uses all the functionality
some things that are disabled on my fairphone-fp2 device I won't see,
but only when checking other devices e.g. lg-hammerhead.

So some gitlab project with issues for each thing would be pretty nice I
believe. While I probably won't tackle big topics like mdss+mdp5 because
it's just very complex, I'm happy to pick up some small tasks that are
(comparatively) quick to fix.

Regards
Luca
