Now this is just my opinion as maintainer of the drm, and doesn't reflect anyone or any official policy, I've also no idea if Linus agrees or not.
We are going to start to see a number of companies in the embedded space submitting 3D drivers for mobile devices to the kernel. I'd like to clarify my position once so they don't all come asking the same questions.
If you aren't going to create an open userspace driver (either MIT or LGPL) then don't waste time submitting a kernel driver to me.
If , for whatever reason, you changed you mind on this what sort of connection between kernel and userspace would these components use?
I ask only because I think UIO hold most (if not all) the driver in userspace .. So you would have to use some other interface if you wanted a more half and half solution ..
