Ok, that's a decision you are going to have to push upward on, as we really can't take this without a working, open, userspace.
Uh wut.
So the merge criteria for drivers/accel (atm still drivers/misc but I thought that was interim until more drivers showed up) isn't actually "totally-not-a-gpu accel driver without open source userspace".
Instead it's "totally-not-a-gpu accel driver without open source userspace" _and_ you have to be best buddies with Greg. Or at least not be on the naughty company list. Since for habanalabs all you wanted is a few test cases to exercise the ioctls. Not the entire userspace.
Habanalabs now has their full library opensourced that their tools use directly, so that's not an argument anymore.
My primary point here is the copyright owner of this code, because of that, I'm not going to objet to allowing this to be merged without open userspace code.
So because it's copyright Linux Foundation you are going to accept it without user space, after all?
