You have no knowledge about this GPU but disagree with our proposal? Is it just gut feeling? Anyways, we need to find a solution.

Well, I do not need inspiration, we need to come to an agreement about img,pvrsgx.yaml and we need some maintainer to finally pick it up. I wonder how we can come to this stage. If I look at vivante,gc.yaml or arm,mali-utgard.yaml I don't see big differences to what we propose and those I see seem to come from technical differences between sgx, vivante, mali etc. So there is no single scheme that fits all different gpu types. One thing we can learn is that "core" seems to be a de facto standard for the core clock-name. An alternative "gpu" is used by nvidia,gk20a.txt. BR and thanks, Nikolaus
