Once the wranglings on the patch series are complete, I do intend to test
it on the platforms I have - and remember that I do have the ALSA based
audio and CEC bits as well, some of which will probably need a little bit
of re-work.

All in all, I welcome the renaming of this to include a reference to
DesignWare - I've always thought it's a mistake that the HDMI interface
in iMX6 was not named with a "dw" prefix as the docs contain references
to it being a DesignWare IP module.
