On stm32mp we do not plan to use chrom-art in drm or v4l2 because it 
does fit
with userland way of working. We use the GPU to do conversion, scaling, 
blending
and composition in only one go.
As explain here [1] DRM subsytem it isn't a solution and v4l2-m2m isn't 
used in any
mainline compositors like Weston or android surfaceflinger.
