Thanks for noticing this. I did understand your point and yes, I did
mention the updated pipeline in previous versions and forgot to add it

Here is the updated pipeline to make it work:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20190524104252.20236-1-jagan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Let me know your comments on this, so I will add a patch for the
above-affected DTS files.
