I'm fine with merging the two sets through drm-misc tree as long
as linux-media and dri-devel maintainers accept this. Up to them.

I think it would be good to directly support 30-bit formats in
IT6263 DT binding, not re-add them to it. This way, we'll have one
version of the binding, not two. So, a better first set would
contain patch 6, 7(one existing A-b from Krzysztof), 8, 9, 10, 12
and 13.
