Both that, and I'd like to keep the ability to disable DRM for devices
that only need the video capture parts of the IPUv3 to work. An example
would be a network connected camera without display or need for GPU
processing.

In both cases the PRE and PRG don't have to be usable, as their only
function is pixel data prefetching for the display path.

That should work fine. Both ipu_prg_format_supported and
ipu_prg_channel_configure are only ever called by DRM code.

I don't think this is necessary, at least for this case.
