Is there a public datasheet for the HW?
I could not find one in Silicon Motion website. I will try to find else
I can talk to them and keep it in my github. And can send you also if
you want.
The driver as it is now is quite horrible. Huge tables of raw data,
written directly to the registers. Lots of magic numbers all around.
Even with a datasheet, presuming it's public and it contains all those
values, the driver is rather unmaintainable.

All those need to be sorted out for the DRM driver anyway, so maybe it's
better to clean up the fb driver first.
Ok. I never looked at them to see how they can be made better. I will
see.
