How do you plan to support them later through the V4L2 M2M API ? I hate stating the obvious, but wouldn't the DRM API be better fit for a graphic accelerator ? Additionally, V4L2 M2M has one source and one destination. How do you implement alpha blending in that case, which by definition requires at least two sources ? > The code in rga-hw.c is used to configure regs accroding to operations. > > The code in rga-buf.c is used to create private mmu table for RGA. > The tables is stored in a list, and be removed when buffer is cleanup. Looking at the implementation it seems to be a scatter-gather list, not an MMU. Is that right ?
