A quick check tells me that my current sunxi-3.4 sunxi_drm.ko measures 1.7MB, for currently about 8kloc (the binary seems excessively big though), which is just display. This still lacks many key features (lcd gpio, backlight pwm, lvds, ints), so it will grow ~1kloc still. Also, i constantly am re-loading this (how else does one develop any sizable amount of code?), so it does that cleanly and correctly, which seems quite contrary to your experience with ARM drm drivers.
