I was speaking of boiler-plate code in drivers and other helpers (e.g.,
drm_gem_fb_simple_display_pipe_prepare_fb() )
TBH I don't think it is possible to build and use simple pipe without
exposing the underlying primitives (crtc, plane, connector). This would
require a completely separate set of atomic helpers. IMHO the current
simple pipe is a mid-layer and comes with typical mid-layer problems.
Anyway, given your rational for the current design, I'll update my
recent patches for prepare_fb() to support simple pipe.
For this patch
