Hi Thierry,
Must admit that I really prefer this idea over modifying existing
applications/users [1] because:
- Most of these setups are tightly coupled (imx+vivante, tegra+nouveau)
and pushing this down to the driver prevents duplication, and hardware
specific details in the users.
- Removes th

Tegra K1 and later use a GPU that can be driven by the Nouveau driver.
But the GPU is a pure render node and has no display engine, hence the
scanout needs to happen on the Tegra display hardware. The GPU and the
display engine each have a separate DRM device node exposed by the
kernel.
