I believe there is a unofficial requirement(?) for new drm drivers to
use atomic modesetting. Not 100% sure on this one though. The
following drivers: tegra, msm, rcar-du, i915, and Daniel's blog [1]
[2] cat provide some information on the topic.

The driver seems to has has a bit of dead code guarded by
HDLCD_*_UNDERRUN. Perhaps these macros should become build or runtime
switch(es) ?

Most DRM drivers do not threat dma, bus_error, vsync and/or underrun
interrupts as debug functionality. They are of limited use in this
driver, presently, yet the CONFIG_DEBUG_FS guard seems a bit strange
imho.

Cheers,
Emil
