I have no issue merging all your patches early in the release cycle,
including the imx/panel/lvds-codec bits. Given the rebase required for
lvds-codec it may take a bit of time though, so I'm OK if you prefer
merging the core first, but I'm not sure it will help catching bugs if
it's unused :-)

I've sent the pull request already, as soon as Dave or Daniel handles
it, you'll have the necessary dependencies.
