Hi Jacob,

Thank you for the patch.

I notice that you don't support the drawing operations. How do you plan to 
support them later through the V4L2 M2M API ? I hate stating the obvious, but 
wouldn't the DRM API be better fit for a graphic accelerator ?

Additionally, V4L2 M2M has one source and one destination. How do you 
implement alpha blending in that case, which by definition requires at least 
two sources ?

Looking at the implementation it seems to be a scatter-gather list, not an 
MMU. Is that right ? Does the hardware documentation refer to it as an MMU ?
