The direct connection between the VSPD and the DU isn't supported in the 
mainline kernel I'm afraid. I've implemented it in out-of-tree patches, but 
they would require extensions to the DRM API that I'm not happy with in their 
current form (so I don't expect the DRM developers to be happy either).

I've rebased the patches on a recent kernel, you can find them at

	git://linuxtv.org/pinchartl/fbdev.git vsp1/devel

Please note that I haven't had time to test the rebased version yet.

You can find a patched version of the modetest utility at

	git://git.ideasonboard.com/renesas/drm.git live

You might need to update the kernel headers, ioctl numbers might have changed 
when I've rebased the kernel patches.
