Well the DSS is really DOSSI for Display Output SubSystem
Interconnect :) The devices on the interconnect are mostly
independent and ideally the toplevel dss driver would just
provide Linux generic resources to dispc and various output
drivers. So probably not a good idea to try to build it all
into a single module.
