Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/3] new subsystem for compute accelerator devices
Date:   Wed,  2 Nov 2022 22:34:02 +0200

This is the second version of the RFC following the comments given on the
first version. Nothing materially has changed in regard to how accel
devices are registered and exposed to user-space. The changes are mostly
re-factoring according to the comments.

Changes since v1:
- Instead of embedding the accel code inside drm core functions, create
  accel_drv.c to hold all the new core code and call that code from
  DRM core.

- Replace deprecated IDR with xarray to manage the accel minors.

- Remove all #ifdef from drm_drv.c. Instead, there are empty inline
  implementations in a new header file drm_accel.h (in include/drm/) that
  will be compiled in case CONFIG_ACCEL is set to 'N'.

- Patch-set organization is a bit different:
  - Patch 1 introduces the accel major code and the new Kconfig.
  - Patch 2 introduces the accel minor code.
  - Patch 3 adds the call to accel functions from DRM core code.

I still haven't added formal documentation as I want to make sure the
general design of the new version is acceptable. If there won't be any
major comments, I'll add the documentation and send the next version as
the version to be merged to drm-next.

The patches are in the following repo:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ogabbay/accel.git/log/?h=accel_v2

The HEAD of that branch is a commit adding a dummy driver that
registers an accel device using the new framework. This can be served
as a simple reference.

Thanks,
