I don't know about the other Allwinner chips, and your DRM driver for
these ones cannot be reused for the H3 because its display engine
(DE.2) is completely different.

The DE2 runs at 432MHz and treats both LCDs. The TCON1 runs at a fixed
rate, 200MHz, and the streaming rates are defined by the HDMI (LCD0) and
TCON0 (LCD1) clocks.

BTW, I hope to submit a H3 DRM driver before new year.
