So basically what I'm asking is that when we have full-feathered open source drivers available that utilize TTM, either as part of DRM core, or, if needed, as part of driver-specific code, do you see anything else that prevents that from being pushed? That would be very valuable to know for anyone starting porting work. ? /Thomas |
