Created attachment 352753 [details] [review] kmssink: Add xilinx_drm to the list of drivers This prevent having to set the driver-name explicitly when running on Zynq UltraScale+ boards.
Review of attachment 352753 [details] [review]: Looks good except that it's weird that the naming is non-standard. Is this a name from mainline driver ? If it's not mainline, will that name change in the future ?
The driver is public ( https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/tree/master/drivers/gpu/drm/xilinx ) but not mainlined yet. The team is planning to mainline it later this year. If changing the name is a hard requirement from upstream then I guess it may be changed. We can wait for the driver to be mainlined before merging this if you prefer. We can use the driver-name property for now.
Well, long term plan is to get rid of this list, so I'm not going to prevent adding a name, so I think in the short term it's not a big deal if an unstable name gets in.
Agreed, and it's trivial to change later if needed.
Review of attachment 352753 [details] [review]: let's merge it then
