  Description     : SiliconMotion SM750/SM768 Graphics PCI-E DRM Driver

SM768 is high performance graphics processor which provides dual display
channels and supports multiple output interfaces, including HDMI,
DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, LVDS and digital interfaces. SM768 has 128-bit
graphics engine to accelerate graphics displays and provides color space
conversion and scaling features. Display resolution supports up to
4K UHD (3840x2160@30p) or 2K/Full HD@60p. SM768 supports H.264/MJPEG
hardware video decoding. 
.
SM750, Dual Display Graphics Chip is a PCI Express 2D multimedia mobile
display controller device providing video and 2D capability to the
embedded industry in a 265-pin BGA package.

SM750 framebuffer driver is available in the mainline kernel but the drm driver
is not in the mainline kernel yet. This driver using dkms will be a combined
drm driver for SM750 and SM768. The work for upstreaming the drm driver to mainline
kernel is ongoing which is the final goal.

I can maintain this package.
