Remember that patch 0 is just an intro for the patch set. It's not
included in the kernel tree. So the basic rule is that patch 0 should
not contain any important info that is not available from the patches
itself.

Where does the DPP2600 name come from? The documentation doesn't mention
it, it's only mentioned in the wiki page written by you. I didn't find
anything with a quick googling either.

So DPP is the processor part inside the projector? I'm not sure if that
knowledge is relevant here. From the kernel driver's point of view
there's just the projector, where the GPIOs, i2c and video lines go.
Does it matter that there's a DPP2600 processor inside?

Also, in the patch comment above you write "picodlp panel". The PicoDLP
is not panel, so you shouldn't speak of picodlp panel.
