Yes, this makes sense and resolves it with only disabling pgc_gpumix in my dts.
I believe it is fine for me to not specifically disable gpu_2d and
gpu_3d as they are not enabled by default in imx8mm.dtsi and I don't
believe that will change and I don't 'currently' need to disable
disp_blk_ctrl or pgc_mipi but wondering if I should as the MIPI rails
are not hooked up either? (ie will something added in the future try
to use them?)
What needs to be done to get this series merged? I suppose it's too
late to get it into 5.13?
Best regards,
Tim
