Post docs and code, not excuses!

The first step is admitting that you need help. And sure enough
you are getting better:

It has been several years now and still power management needs
significant work, and UVD has no support whatsoever? How many
generations of hardware have come out in this time? You could
have easily changed the hardware to make it easy to document
UVD. And what exactly is the reason for lousy power management?
Do the power companies have compromising photos of you?
Releasing docs bought you a lot of goodwill initially, but it has
been too little too slowly. "It is soooo haaaaarrrrrd!" What,
are you 3 years old? We customers are tired of the excuses.
Your window is rapidly closing. Nouveau has video decoding, by
reverse engineering, and you can't provide it even with insider
information? And there are *multiple* projects reverse engineering
other existing chips. And there are *multiple* projects designing
new chips that will be completely open from day 1.
If you want sales, I have a suggestion: spend less time posting the
same excuse 6700 times and more time posting documentation and code.
