Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

Could you document non-static function using kerneldoc ? Parameters to this 
function would benefit from some documentation. I'd also like to see the 
fragment get/put functions documented, as you remove existing kerneldoc for 
the alloc/free existing functions in patch 3/8.

I think I would name this function vsp1_dl_fragment_pool_create(), as it does 
more than just allocating memory. Similarly I'd call the free function 
vsp1_dl_fragment_pool_destroy().

qty is a bit vague, I'd rename it to num_fragments.

extra_size is only used by vsp1_dlm_create(), to allocate extra memory for the 
display list header. We need one header per display list, not per display list 
body.

This is a weird indentation.

Can this happen ?

I noticed that the vsp1_dl_fragment structure is declared here but never 
defined or used. The vsp1_dl_fragment_* functions all operate on vsp1_dl_body 
structures.

The name body is used in the datasheet, so I think it would make sense to 
s/fragments/bodies/ and s/fragment/body/ through the code as a prerequisite 
for this patch, and rebasing it accordingly.
