Subject: [PATCH] staging: bcm2835-camera: Add TODO for removing overlay support
Date: Fri, 11 May 2018 01:12:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1525993965-4317-1-git-send-email-stschake@gmail.com> (raw)

The overlay code is non-functional since it relies on firmware control
of the HVS.

Dave, does this match your understanding?

+We advertise support for a V4L2 overlay implemented through the
+ril.video_render component. This component is non-functional with an
+upstream kernel since the VC4 DRM driver controls the HVS, not the
+firmware. Once we have dma-buf support, the same functionality with
+improved control can be achieved through the DRM interface. We should
+therefore remove all V4L2 overlay functionality from the driver.
