It's complicated. The plan for the driver was to wait for the common display 
framework (CDF) and convert it to use CDF and then submit it upstream. The 
CDF has been rejected though. Meanwhile the V4L2 adv7511 driver has been 
merged. So now we are in the ugly situation that we have two different 
drivers for two different frameworks. To fix this we need to merge these two 
drivers while still exposing the interfaces to both frameworks.

We need to teach the DMAengine framework about cyclic interleaved transfers 
before the AXI HDMI driver can be submitted upstream.
