Taking just those screws up the rest of the series, as I previously
explained:

Have you acked my patch set sent in August, after I relied saying that
the series needs to be kept together?

Philipp sent a tested-by, but that was about the only attributation
I received from posting the set, so I only sent David what I was fully
happy to send at the time.  I'm willing to send:

drm: bridge/dw_hdmi: improve HDMI enable/disable handling
drm: bridge/dw_hdmi: add connector mode forcing
drm: bridge/dw_hdmi: add support for interlaced video modes
gpu: imx: fix support for interlaced modes
gpu: imx: simplify sync polarity setting

now, which are patches 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 from the original 12 patch
series.

The actual audio patches I think need to be held _even_ longer, because
it's unclear what's happening with ALSA in regard to HDMI audio.  There's
also the need to sort out what's going on with CEC (thanks to the late
arrival of the CEC project by Hans) which may influence how the HDMI
audio part gets to hear about the display's capabilities.  So, yet again
I can see audio missing the next merge window, which is just how it's
been for the last two years.

Actually, right now I think we ought to say: sod it, these patches have
been around for long enough that they should just be merged, and then
we'll sort out whatever changes are necessary later when the CEC and
audio situation finally gets sorted... but are you happy with having
what is essentially an ALSA driver in drivers/gpu/drm/bridge?  If not,
why haven't you responded to the many times that the patches have been
posted?

At this stage, I'm getting to be very rebelious, and it's very tempting
for me to say "sod you" or just drop the work entirely if you have any
objections.  I feel I've put fsck loads of work into this area for
very little mainline progress, and I'm just not going to continue doing
that.
