Is your enhancement proposal related to a problem? Please describe.
Connecting a video device to a display is a frequent use-case, and requires boilerplate that can be avoided.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow plugging a video device directly to a display through a connector/glue software driver interfacing both APIs.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Put that code in a video subsystem.
Implement the video API into every display/
Use RTIO on either APIs so that connecting them is easy.
Additional context
There is a display driver API, there is a video driver API. They both support a different subset of features
but out of the common subset, it is possible to build a generic driver able to connect any supported display to any supported video driver, given the format match.
