If I disable the GUI, do you think it would render via kms/drm?  I was
having issues starting Ubuntu with X11.

OK.  I won't spend any more time on it.  I knew the driver was in its
infancy, but I didn't realize how much.

I'll likely push my existing device tree changes to the Geert's
Renesas tree so the GPU node can be added which should make this
easier in the future.  I can push my tweak via gitlab, adding
DEF_CONFIG("renesas,r8a774a1-gpu", "renesas,du-r8a774a1"), if you
think that would be accepted.
