Re: [Linux-stm32] [PATCH v4 0/4] Genericize DW MIPI DSI bridge and add i.MX 6 driver

[Philippe CORNU]

Hi Adrian,

And sorry for this late reply.
Your patches look good and we ("stm guys") understand that v1.01 is very 
different to v1.30/31.

We are doing our best to review & test your patches and we will go back 
to you asap.
Many thanks,
Philippe :-)
