DT isn't really a solution either. Let's take the distribution
perspective there. Suppose you're a Fedora or Debian developer, and want
to make a single kernel image, and ship a DT to the user for their board
without any modification. How is either the Kconfig solution or DT flags
solution any good there? It doesn't help them at all.
We are working in another way. As we can tell model of the board by strings
passed from the firmware, we just built-in all poosible DTs into the kernel
and then tell which DT to load at boot time. So we can ensure users has
smmoth experience.
It's not really for you to say though. Once your driver is in a release,
distros are going to use it. That's the whole point of you asking us to
merge it.

Hi, Dear Maxime

There are still some LS3a5000+ls7a2000 and LS3a5000+ls7a1000 boards at china market.

ls7a2000 has loongson display controller + loongson self-made GPU integrated. Without

a display driver, integrated graphics of the board can not be used with upstream kernel.

A few ordinary player and user space developer blaming  me, they need a basic usable

graphic environment  badly. Do you have spare time to review my patch again,

The DC is lack of document  even though in Chinese because the hardware engineer don't supply one.

But I will provide more information required during code review as far as i can tell.
