Phoronix: The Size Of Different DRM Graphics Drivers In Linux 4.7

Last October I looked at The Size Of The Different Open-Source Linux DRM/Mesa Graphics Drivers, but with it being nearly one year since then and Linux 4.7 due out today, I decided to run some fresh L.O.C. measurements on the popular DRM/KMS drivers to see their current sizes...

Nouveau has its firmwares embedded in the source code ... so the comparaison is a little unfair

well, especially, because the firmware source files are also included

Damn! AMDGPU loves the header files at 440k lines of code while the detected C code by cloc comes in at just 102k lines of code.

Yep... the difference is that the radeon header files just include #defines for the registers/fields we are actually using, while amdgpu header files include pretty much everything whether we are using it yet or not.

It would be nice if the moderator had some stats per user to base it's decision on: (amount of posts-(m*amount of auto moderation accepted+n*manual moderation))/amount of posts . I would say that N>>M. And this can be used as a factor to base the validity score on.
Fortunately I have seen it 3 times or so...
But if that's not possibly, a white list would be fine. I would reckon you wouldn't post something that would bring shame to your company tag ;-).

More likely Michael is (yet again) using default settings because of lack of time.

Mmm... I am just wondering, but the license headers in those files should amount for a fair number of comment lines, especially for the driers that gets a high file count, no?
