Thank you for your work on this.

The problem with a CONFIG_XYZ option is that it becomes uAPI and can't be
removed. I feel we have a good proposal going for the generic solution.
Would it work for you if we don't make this a CONFIG_ option? What I mean
is using

#define AMD_PRIVATE_COLOR

around the interface bits, which are only compiled when building with
-DAMD_PRIVATE_COLOR

That way we have the option to rip the driver-private stuff out later
while still allowing for experimentation now.

Or, alternatively, we can merge everything but the stuff currently
guarded by CONFIG_STEAM_DECK, so that custom kernels can enable this
functionality by simply merging one patch that includes all the
CONFIG_STEAM_DECK stuff.

This will allow us to merge the vast majority of the code without
having to maintain it in downstream repo.

As discussed at the hackfest I think it's a good idea to have something
that's easy to enable for the purposes of experimentation (and to
help downstream users that help us figure out how this all fits
together, i.e. SteamOS).
