[PATCH RESEND 11/17] drm/spacemit: add Saturn DPU DRM device driver

From: Cody Kang via B4 Relay

Date: Sat Jul 25 2026 - 00:52:49 EST


From: Cody Kang <codykang.hk@xxxxxxxxx>

Add the DRM device for the SpacemiT K3 Saturn display processing unit
and hook the driver up to the build. The SoC has two DPU instances;
each drives one CRTC that scans out a single primary plane in linear
RGB at up to 3840x2160@60 and feeds a downstream DP/eDP controller
over an OF-graph endpoint. Buffers use drm_gem_shmem_helper. The
AFBC/compressed decode path is not exposed and writeback is not
implemented.

+ Choose this option if you have a SpacemiT SoC with the Saturn
+ display processing unit, such as the K3. The DPU scans out
+ framebuffers through its private display MMU and feeds a
+ DisplayPort or embedded DisplayPort controller.

+ If M is selected the module will be called spacemit-drm.
