 Hi folks,
 
 Sorry for chime in here, I've done a bit of work based on this driver including adapting to NetBSD's conf format, fixed console selection as well as Big Endian machine behaviour.
 
 Patch available at https://github.com/NetBSD/src/pull/49.patch.
 
 A quick snip to test with QEMU:
 
 ```
 ./build.sh -U -u -O ~/obj -j4 -m evbarm -a aarch64 kernel=GENERIC64
 
 qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -kernel ~/obj/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64/netbsd.img -cpu cortex-a53 -m 2g -device virtio-gpu -serial stdio
 ```
 
 Note that this driver is TEXT_EMUL only atm and can't be used with xf86-video-wsfb as it requires damage reporting from user space.
 
 I really wish to see this driver in next major NetBSD release.
 
 Thanks
 - Jiaxun
