But please see my comment further below.
Hmm, it fits the definition of 'Advanced' but is it an advanced task? With all the helpers in DRM, fbconv, and lots of drivers to copy from, it mostly comes down to refactoring. I'd have classified this as starter to intermediate.
In my case, I did my first steps in the DRM code by hacking up a driver for an ancient SiS chipset. [1] I found that much easier than working on the DRM core.
Best regards Thomas

It does require quite a bit of understanding of drm concepts and display concepts, plus you need to have hardware. It doesn't boil down to much code, that's true.
Compared to some of the stuff I classified as intermediate, like debugfs refactoring, where you can refactor without really having to understand the big picture much, I felt like advanced is justified.
There's ofc the even more advanced stuff, where the first problem is figuring out what the problem is, and then the next one is coming up with an actual plan. You've done a lot of that, but that's way beyond what we put into todo.rst. That's all stuff where the problem is identified already, and the plan exists (sometimes in rough shape).
Cheers, Daniel
