Hello,

I was wondering about the following. Wasn't there some strict
requirement about code going upstream, which also included that there
was a full open-source driver stack for it?

I don't see how this is the case for Mali, neither in the kernel, nor in
userspace. I'm aware that the Mali kernel driver is open-source. But it
is not upstream, maintained out of tree, and won't land upstream in its
current form (no resemblence to a DRM driver at all). And let's not talk
about the userspace part.

So, why should this be here?

Have to agree with Tobias, here.

I can see the annoyance that Maxime and others have to go through to
their systems working.
At the same time, changing upstream kernel to suit out of tree
module(s) is not how things work. Right ?

Not to mention that the series adds stable ABI exclusively(?) used by
a module which does not seem to be in the process of getting merged.

Maxime, you're a great guy but I don't think this is suitable for
upstream... yet.

Regards,
Emil
