Just curious... how many LTs have Mali stuff? If it's more than one, we
should perhaps be talking about moving it to linux-linaro-core-tracking.
We have two teams with three different versions of the driver ;-) with,
I suspect, custom modifications (different memory management
components?).
Yes, there are three different memory managers (UMP from ARM, HWMEM from
STE, and UMM).
From my bystanders point of view, the interaction with closed source
binary blobs seems to cause people enough nightmares without also trying
to converge code-lines between teams. Especially when engineering
resources are spread so thin.
Fortunately (?), the two teams have the drivers under different paths
with different module and Kconfig option naming, so they could coexist
in the same tree.
It would be best if the driver and user space was converted to use UMM
so we could drop UMP/HWMEM, and standardize on one driver. Added Jesse
here as he may have some info that is relevant.
