This has pretty complicated structure from the merging point of view.
I propose we take patches 6, 8, 9 (without 30-bit formats, they can be
dropped while applying), 11, 12 (?) and 13 through drm-misc in one
batch (once DT maintainers review the binding parts). This looks like
a minimal set, having no extra dependencies.
The second set might be 4, 5 + new patch, re-adding 30-bit formats to
IT6263 binding (no driver changes are necessary). This can go in
separately, after an Ack from media maintainers.
Of course both sets can go together if linux-media maintainers reacts
quickly and ack merging media-formats patch through drm-misc tree.
The rest of the patches don't have such strong dependencies and go in
once ready / reviewed.
WDYT?
