- TODO list
- Difficulty
- Remove custom dumb_map_offset implementations
- Convert existing KMS drivers to atomic modesetting
- Clean up the clipped coordination confusion around planes
- Convert early atomic drivers to async commit helpers
- Fallout from atomic KMS
- Get rid of dev->struct_mutex from GEM drivers
- Convert logging to drm_* functions with drm_device paramater
- Convert drivers to use simple modeset suspend/resume
- Convert drivers to use drm_fbdev_generic_setup()
- drm_framebuffer_funcs and drm_mode_config_funcs.fb_create cleanup
- Clean up mmap forwarding
- Generic fbdev defio support
- idr_init_base()
- struct drm_gem_object_funcs
- Use DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_* helpers instead of boilerplate
- Rename CMA helpers to DMA helpers
- Convert direct mode.vrefresh accesses to use drm_mode_vrefresh()
- Remove drm_display_mode.hsync
- drm_fb_helper tasks
- connector register/unregister fixes
- Remove load/unload callbacks from all non-DRIVER_LEGACY drivers
- Make panic handling work
- Clean up the debugfs support
