Re: [PATCH v9 0/5] Add support for iMX8MQ Display Controller Subsystem

[Laurentiu Palcu]

Hi Lucas,

I was wondering about the plans to merge this series. Since not many
people can test it properly due to lack of DCSS support in the upstream
NWL driver (which I heard it's coming soon) and a completely nonexistent
HDP driver, are we going to take a leap of faith and merge it as is? Or
should we wait?

As to who is going to do the actual merge, I know we had a brief
discussion about it some time ago and I was supposed to apply for
drm-misc rights, however it feels a little awkward to merge my own
code... :) Though, I might not even qualify for drm-misc rights anyway,
considering I haven't been very active in this area... :/

On that note, I will probably need help with the merging, provided it's
still happenning. Will you be able to help me out with this?

Thanks,
laurentiu
