Thanks, that's super helpful. The architecture is thus similar to vc4

Some general questions related to bugs we had at some point with vc4:

  * Where is the display list stored? In RAM or in a dedicated SRAM?

  * Are the pointer to the current display list latched?

  * Is the display list itself latched? If it's not, what happens when
    the display list is changed while the frame is being generated?

It was more of a suggestion, really. I'm not sure whether it works for
you, but it usually addresses similar issues in drivers.

Sorry, I couldn't really get how the interrupt flow / vblank reporting
is going to work. Could you explain it a bit more?
