And yes, it would have been nice at launch day, but hopefully people will now have a nicely reviewed driver. Now it would of course be fine if we had means to see what calculations could be offloaded to this ASIC and software that would be using it once available.
    DRM is means Direct Rendering Manager, it's a kernel subsystem like a infrastructure for writing drivers sharing common interface, abstractions and code, DRM is used for graphics resources like gpu, DC but its too used for offloading to heterougeneous hardwares.

    Accel is a new subsystem design to be more focused with NNA (Neural Network Accelerators) but it's in DRM subsystem.
    Linux DRM doesn't means about some restriction tecniques for protection content, i know, the name looks much but is not the same thing.

      I think Video Processing Engine (VPE) / Video Core Next (VCN) in AMD APUs/GPUs are more efficient and specialized for this use-case and I would say already supported by the kernel and other media libraries/frameworks/players.
