Do you yet have some concrete plans or features to tackle? I would assume you would be helping Daniel get the atomic modesetting landed in the first place. Might your work include automated DRM testing or something like that, perhaps? By that I mean using e.g. the display hardware CRC readback or image readback to verify the output of the DRM-backend, or perhaps using something like Google's Chamelium[1] to do the same at frame accuracy to detect glitches, timing issues, and so on? Or maybe something in the direction of drm hwcomposer[2]? I don't recall what else there could be, so I will be very interested in hearing about your plans.
