Well we at least need to move the crationg of the property to the driver. I guess we could leave the property itself in place in mode_config so that fbdev can get at it easily. If we come across a real need for separate per-plane rotation properties we can always move it to drm_plane later. -- = Ville Syrj=E4l=E4 Intel OTC
