I talked with Laurent at ELCE about this patchset and he is fine
with this series going in before his work assuming its fine
otherwise. He has not yet reviewed it, though and is busy the
next two weeks.

Regarding the panel-dsi-cm porting work: I will take care of this
once the driver uses common DRM drivers. I don't expect major
problems once omapdrm implements common drm's mipi_dsi_host. I
do use the standard DT properties already.

I do agree, that not applying this series makes Laurent's porting
work easier, since he can rip out all of DSI. It's not used by
anything except panel-dsi-cm, which is broken without this patchset.
I don't think that's a fair thing to do, though.

P.S.: I got asked by different people about the status of this
patchset, which is required for display support on N9, N950 and
Droid 4. It's not just me and Tony, that are interested in this :)
