The biggest amount of space used in this directory tree is for #defines relating to registers in the ASICs, not actual program code. It was presumably automatically converted from AMD-internal source. While it would be possible to trim out those defines which are unused by the drm driver itself, it would make it more difficult to compare what we have with the original driver from AMD, and more difficult to update. If the problem is disk space I suggest using a larger partition. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
