In the end we should have a single, generic SGX driver for all OMAP SoC variants sitting in mainline drivers/gpu/pvr. So the goal is to end the era of out-of tree SGX drivers for a significant portion of OMAP processors.
I don't think that will ever happen, because there is no open source userspace library for SGX. That library is the "real" driver here. At least the policy has been (I believe it still is) that you can't have a driver in the kernel which can only be used with a closed source userspace component.
