In that case, can I take the whole series? Or would you like to respin
and have my Acked-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> with the
changes below:

... on i.MX6, then. Right now I don't know what is the effect of the
undocumented settings on the i.MX5's IPUv3M.

Yes, being able to actually reference counters with higher numbers makes
