Right now we don't know if the driver will be upstreamed.
Let me rephrase my question:

- how would you recommend enabling FB_CFB_FILLRECT, FB_CFB_COPYAREA and
FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT for a driver that is not included in the kernel's tree?

If that is not possible, I guess we will have to keep a forked tree until
the driver is upstreamed, but we would like to avoid that, hence the
question.
I guess you'll have to keep on doing that indeed. I'm not aware of any
location where out-of-tree drivers are considered. You should try
again when you have some actual code to upstream.
Ok, thanks.
