nit: ${SUBJECT} says v3, but this is v5.

I'll put in my usual plug for considering "patman" to help post
patches.  Even though it lives in the u-boot git repo it's still a gem
for kernel work.

You'll need to change icc_set() here to icc_set_bw() to match v13, AKA:

- https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190116161103.6937-2-georgi.djakov@xxxxxxxxxx

This will also need to change to icc_set_bw()

I have the same questions for this series that I had in response to
the email ("[v5 2/3] drm/msm/dpu: Integrate interconnect API in MDSS")
<https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAD=FV=XUeMTGH+CDwGs3PfK4igdQrCbwucw7_2ViBc4i7grvxg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Copy / pasting here (with minor name changes) so folks don't have to
follow links / search email.

I'm curious what the plan is for landing this series.   Rob / Gerogi:
do you have any preference?  Options I'd imagine:

A) Wait until interconnect lands (in 5.1?) and land this through
msm-next in the version after (5.2?)

B) Georgi provides an immutable branch for interconnect when his lands
(assuming he's landing via pull request) and that gets pulled into the
the relevant drm tree.

C) Rob Acks this series and indicates that it should go in through
Gerogi's tree (probably only works if Georgi plans to send a pull
request).  If we're going this route then (IIUC) we'd want to land
this in Gerogi's tree sooner rather than later so it can get some bake
time?  NOTE: as per my prior reply, I believe Rob has already Acked
this patch.


Does anyone have a preference?  It's be nice if whoever is planning to
land this could indicate whether they'd prefer Jordan send a new
version to handle the API change or if the relevant maintainer can
just do the fixup when the patch lands.


Thanks!
