This is confusing, but by the looks of it this is code for U-Boot
display support and has nothing to do with the Linux kernel. I don't
know why dri-devel was on Cc.

Yannick, it's not customary to cross-post U-Boot display drivers to
Linux mailing lists, unless there's some need to coordinate or discuss
across the boundaries (for example if you were proposing a way to do
seamless handover from U-Boot to kernel). If you do cross-post, perhaps
make sure to mark these patches as targetting U-Boot to avoid confusion.
