I only looked at that as part of the drm-misc small drivers experiment, to
help kickstart a review market. I didn't look at the panel stuff. And the
reason I looked at that right now is because right now we started this
experiment. That has nothing at all to do with what's going on with
drm-panel. If you look at drm-misc, the dsi patches for vc4 have now
landed, but the panel driver for the rpi 7" touchscreen hasn't.

And Eric had the dsi patches queued in his vc4 tree since a while, just
waiting to be sent out in a pull request. We've only gone through the fast
review+merging to drm-misc to try out the new process. So not related at
all I think.
