Multiple DRM Rust drivers (e.g. nova-core, nova-drm, Tyr, rvkms) are in development, with at least Nova and (soon) Tyr already upstream. Having a shared tree will ease and accelerate development, since all drivers can consume new infrastructure in the same release cycle.
This includes infrastructure shared with other subsystem trees (e.g. Rust or driver-core). By consolidating in drm-rust, we avoid adding extra burden to drm-misc maintainers, e.g. dealing with cross-tree topic branches. The drm-misc tree is not a good fit for this stage of development, since its documented scope is small drivers with occasional large series. Rust drivers in development upstream, however, regularly involve large patch series, new infrastructure, and shared topic branches, which may not align well with drm-misc at this stage. The drm-rust tree may not be a permanent solution. Once the core Rust, DRM, and KMS infrastructure have stabilized, drivers and infrastructure changes are expected to transition into drm-misc or standalone driver trees respectively. Until then, drm-rust provides a dedicated place to coordinate development without disrupting existing workflows too much.
