Hello Geert,
Thank you for the patches.

I've started adding DT support to the shmob-lcdc driver, but I have no board
to test it on. My Armadillo is gone, and KZM9G is unusable with DT + LCDC at
the moment as the LCDC interrupt is connected to the legacy interrupt
controller only, not the GIC. Would you be able to test a patch set ? And if
you want to implement support for the KZM9G legacy interrupt controller in DT,
please go for it :-)

HDMI is broken in legacy, we can thus drop it.

At this point it becomes a budget question, we can certainly port them to DT,
but it might not make sense to spend time on that. I'll let Magnus chime in.
