While I don't really have any strong opinions about these drivers one way or the other, a cursory glance shows that they end up sharing quite a bit of code, along with the existing in-tree blackfin fb drivers. Have you considered trying to abstract things a bit and moving things in to a drivers/video/bfin or the like? Much of the DMA and PPI stuff looks like it could be pretty easily broken out.
