Hi and welcome! Possibly dumb question: why the Cirrus CLGD 5446? It doesn't seem like a very common chipset. Is the goal of the project to have a "model" KMS driver and documentation that can serve as a guide? Or a KMS driver that works well in a common virtualisation environment? or something else? -d
