SubjectRe: [PATCH] drm/panfrost: Export all GPU feature registers
This is definitely helpful!

My one concern is, supposing userspace really does need all of this
information, is it wasteful to have to do 30+ ioctls just to get this?
kbase had a single ioctl to grab all of the properties, whether
userspace wanted them or not. I'm not sure if that's better -- the two
approaches are rather polar opposites.

Granted this would be on driver init so not a critical path.
