Another thing I would like to ask you to do is to rename ivpu_drm.h to ivpu_accel.h to make it clear this is an accel uapi file and not a classic drm driver uapi file. i.e. to make it clear it exposes the accel device char nodes, sysfs, etc. But leave it in include/uapi/drm, because we might still need drm.h down the road.
