this code had only one review

Does it mean AMD already consider this code ready for review, or there is still work to be done before that?

Well, they haven't submitted it for review yet so I'd say the implication is that they don't think it's ready.

All these regular patches make me happy to see that DC is getting a lot of attention and love atm.

its way to big to be in the kernel.

How so ? It's not that much larger than the current display code and brings a lot of new features.

Unfortunately the cost of feature-rich hardware is complex drivers.

BTW last time I ran cloc on the display code the result was ~90K lines of code plus ~35K lines of comments & whitespace, so not really "well over a hundred thousand lines of code" unless you include those.

Yeah, we should have only serial dongle drivers in the kernel, fuck GPUs and their complex drivers.
