Also, a rather trivial high level question. Is drm a good controller name given that other controller names are like cpu, memory, io?
There was a discussion about naming early in the RFC (I believe RFCv2), the consensuses then was to use drmcg to align with the drm subsystem. I have no problem renaming it to gpucg or something similar if that is the last thing that's blocking acceptance. For now, I would like to get some clarity on the implementation before having more code churn.
As far as precedence goes, we named the other controllers after the resources they control rather than the subsystem: cpu instead of scheduler, memory instead of mm, io instead of block layer etc.
