Well, if you think imx-drm is ready to be moved out of staging, then
let's do that first. I will resubmit the imx-drm patches after the move
is merged.

In the meantime I will go ahead and resubmit only the IPU patches.

The fixes that are important in terms of multi-display, upping channel
priorities, stability (irq ordering, locking), and better video mode support
are:

ARM: i.MX6: use pll2_pfd0_352m as clock root of ipu_di
gpu: ipu-v3: Implement use counter for ipu_dc_enable(), ipu_dc_disable()
gpu: ipu-v3: Split out DI clock enable/disable
gpu: ipu-v3: Protect more CM reg access with IPU lock
gpu: ipu-v3: Move DI waveform counter enable/disable to ipu-di
gpu: ipu-v3: Allow burstsize of 20 in ipu_dmfc_setup_channel()
gpu: ipu-di: Set rate of DI pre clock
imx-drm: hdmi: rework irq request/free
imx-drm: hdmi: set DI clock source to DI pre clock
imx-drm: ipuv3-plane: Assign correct dmfc burst size
imx-drm: ipuv3-crtc: Disable overlay plane during crtc disable
imx-drm: ipuv3-plane: Enable 8 burst locking


But in any case, I'd prefer if we just wait until imx-drm is moved
and then I will resubmit the imx-drm patches, and in the meantime
I will go ahead and resubmit only the IPU patches.


Steve
