Could we trim down omapfb to remove support for the devices supported by
omapdrm ?

I was thinking about just that. But, of course, it's not quite
straightforward either.

We've got DSI manual update functionality in OMAP3-OMAP5 SoCs, which
covers a lot of devices.

Sebastian is working on getting that feature in omapdrm, isn't he ?

Yes, and I keep pushing it forward because of the restructuring you're
doing =) (feel free to comment on that thread). But agreed, it's getting
better. When we have manual update support, I think the biggest missing
feature is then in omapdrm.

And VRFB on OMAP2/3.

And that's something I'd really like to have in omapdrm too.

Considering how much headache TILER has given, I'm not exactly looking
forward to it ;).

If we get manual update and VRFB, I think we are more or less covered on
the supported HW features. It'll still break userspace apps which use
omapfb, though. Unless we also port the omapfb specific IOCTLs and the
sysfs files, which I believe we should not.

I agree with you, we shouldn't. We'll need a grace period before removing 
omapfb, if we ever do so.
