I'm not against doing this, especially for gpu dumps.

Wouldn't json be easier to generate and parse? Or do you prefer the
slightly better human readability of yaml?

I think it would be pretty straighforward to write drm printer helpers
for printing valid json without having to actually manually print the
colons and braces etc. And the struct drm_printer could even have checks
for ensuring you don't burp verbatim stuff to a printer that's supposed
to be json.

Any considerations for the transition? Massive wholesale patch bomb
conversion? Yikes.

BR,
Jani.
