I see that only patch 1/3 from this series was picked but according to the
conversation with Seung-Woo [0] in the cover letter, the GSC v4l2 and drm
drivers don't support to be simultaneous enabled like is the case for FIMC.

So patch 3/3 is the only one of the series that should be dropped and this
one picked as well.
