If you want to move it to nouveau, I'm not going to object. But please fold the helper code, such that we aren't left with unused functions and unnecessary function pointer indirections through struct drm_encoder_slave_funcs. > > It's also a question of whether maintenance of this code based used by > the nouveau driver only should be the responsibility of the drm-misc > community or the nouveau driver maintainers. Good question.
