The whole ordering of operations with respect to things like suspend/resume or dynamic power management is going to be a real nightmare if there are dependencies between the drivers. How do you enforce ordering of s/r operations between all the various components? The other thing I'd like you guys to do is kill the idea of fbdev and v4l drivers that are "shared" with the drm codebase, really just implement fbdev and v4l on top of the drm layer, some people might think this is some sort of maintainer thing, but really nothing else makes sense, and having these shared display frameworks just to avoid having using drm/kms drivers seems totally pointless. Fix the drm fbdev emulation if an fbdev interface is needed. But creating a fourth framework because our previous 3 frameworks didn't work out doesn't seem like a situation I want to get behind too much.
