On the series: Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>

And apologies for the detours this patch set took and my part in the (too
many) revisions. I think we should land this and do anything more once
it's merged and we extend the panic support to more drivers.

Thanks a lot to you for seeing this through!

Cheers, Sima
