After thinking about this a bit, I think a shared out-of-tree
repo is the best place to start rather than try to stuff a
pile of sgx and vendor specific hacks into staging. Currently
we don't even know what all needs to be different for various
SoCs for example.

And for upstream merging, a minimal generic accelerated 2d
sgx driver that works across several SoCs is probably the
best place to start. This would make the clock and interrupt
handling generic with just SoC specific glue layer.

Regards,

Tony
