Denys,

That's the final objective. We going to start working towards that.
As you understand that the kernel dependency needs to be sorted out 
before that.

If there is no other feedback on this patch, it would be good to have 
this merged to the daisy as an interim. When we do add support for DRM 
backend on 1.6.0, I will take action to remove support for 1.3.0.

For those how want to use this version can set the preferred_provider to 
this version.
