Based on given options, I will make proposed uapi changes compatible 
with with original RFC
to go with option 1.  I will send the updated patch in some time. Thanks 
Sean.

As per my off line discussion with Daniel, I working on using the DRM 
HDCP helper functions than
abstraction layer in DRM. Once that work is complete, I will re-spine 
the complete series for
review than phase by phase.
