The patch says:
"DIU supports video at up to 1280x1024x32bpp"
How is this not misleading?
I understand that the patch describes the board, and that's correct. It
should also indicate which major functionality is not supported. I was
expecting something like this:
- Video
- DIU hardware is capable of video up to 1280x1024x32bpp
- DIU support is currently not implemented

Fair enough, but the QIXIS is not something that would generally be
supported by Linux, as there is no "QIXIS driver". There is a DIU
driver, however.
The patch description should state which major components are not
currently supported by software, but would be expected to be supported.
