Glymur is already done, so imagining we talk about next/future SoC then we would be at point of duplicating drivers for the same hardware. So back to square one of my comments. The rule of usptream development is that we do not accept duplicated code, just because a vendor wants to write something new. This is basically the concept applied all over the drivers tree, where we pushed back against all sorts of duplications all over the vendors. What I miss in this thread is why would there be any exception here. We do not grant exceptions from standard practices on "I want" reasons. Best regards, Krzysztof

Yes, Iris and Venus where we agreed for an exception (two drivers) as long as new driver supports old hardware / features. This is not the case here, right? > > I suppose drm exposing legacy fbdev on top of drm drivers is _sort of_ > a precedent if you squint a bit? I'm not really familiar enough to > say if that would be reasonable/possible in this case. Growing old driver does not look complicated itself. The only a bit tricky thing is to present somehow exclusive interface to user-space, like usage of one disables the second etc. Depending on actual differences in that interface. But having a duplicated driver is a clear no go and it is well known upstream requirement. Nothing new here. Best regards, Krzysztof
