OMG I'm working in a subsystem where stuff is being developed, with only
a few resources! I know my full time job isn't maintaining a 500,000
line subsystem,
and the sub maintainers and developers do a great job refactoring
where required.

lots of other driver authors have made substantial changes to the drm core as
they've written drivers, you spot one bit of refactoring and its a
major shortcoming
of the entire subsystem and development community.

how about instead of writing:
"However, at least I've taken the time to _think_ about what I'm doing
and realise that there _is_ scope here for the DRM core to improve,
rather than burying this stuff deep inside my driver like everyone else
has.  That's no reason to penalise patches from the "good guys" who think"

you go with
"I noticed this piece of functionality could be refactored, here is a
patch adding them to
the core, does anyone think its a good idea?"

As Daniel pointed out every driver submitted has refactored things,
even exynos did a
lot of work to be the first ARM driver we shipped, the DRM core
doesn't write itself and
I fully expect driver authors to be the ones that tell me what needs
refactoring, since
they are on the pointy end, but to state that you are the only person
ever to think about
things is frankly being a dick.

Lets try for less dick, and more productive in future.
Dave.
