Current version is RFC v2 - I know Laurent is working on a v3, but it is 
taking some time. It will probably differ considerably from v2, so be 
warned if you use it.

Still, if you want to play around with the CDF, you can have a look at 
the tegra-cdf branch of my github repo: 
https://github.com/Gnurou/linux/commits/tegra-cdf

It was kind of old so I rebased it on top of 3.10rc1. It includes the 
CDF v2 patch, adds CDF support to the tegra-drm driver, and also 
implements a driver for the Tegra 2-based Ventana panel. It's pretty 
straightforward to read so I guess you can use that as a guide.

I checked whether the rebase worked and it does - you just need to 
enable host1x/tegradrm support on top of the default settings (Stephen, 
why aren't these enabled by default?)

So long story short, CDF works well and is small enough to be easy to 
maintain out-of-tree. A proper panel framework is desperately needed in 
the kernel, so I hope it will move forward soon.

Hope this helps,
Alex.
