Could you paste an example of your format?

Standardized fdinfo sounds good to me in principle. But I would also 
like people to look at the procfs proposal from Chris,
  - link to which I have pasted elsewhere in the thread.

Only potential issue with fdinfo I see at the moment is a bit of an 
extra cost in DRM client discovery (compared to my sysfs series and also 
procfs RFC from Chris). It would require reading all processes (well 
threads, then maybe aggregating threads into parent processes), all fd 
symlinks, and doing a stat on them to figure out which ones are DRM devices.

Btw is DRM_MAJOR 226 consider uapi? I don't see it in uapi headers.

Definitely.
