Description

DRM drivers implement different APIs to drive in-kernel applications such as framebuffer console support and drm_panic. More in-kernel applications, like bootsplash, will be in the kernel before we know it.

Many DRM drivers implement DRM framebuffer console support while only a few support drm_panic. Adding more in-kernel applications with separate driver APIs will lead to few initial driver adopters. This talk will explore how the driver-side API can be unified and build upon previous attempts at doing so.
