Hi Zach,

The prime fd to handle ioctl was not used with rockchip before. Support was added in order to support potential uses (e.g. zero-copy video decode, camera).
Similar patch came around a few months ago and got this reply [1]. If the situation has changed (there is an open-source driver/user for this) it should be clearly mentioned in the commit message, as opposed to "in order to support potential uses".
hmm, well it is not driver specific uabi, and we have let several other mali/img users do prime..
I'm not sure, maybe those platforms can do a basic v4l <-> display thing w/ prime. Although upstream tends to hurt a bit for camera support..
BR, -R
