Well let's see what needs to be patched outside drivers/video and get it merged to mainline so you can maintain your patches against the mainline tree. If something is not in the mainline for drivers/video, we can try to get those integrated to mainline, or add them to your queue for now. > I'd like to get the DSS2 working on OMAP2 also, but I'm (still) waiting > for my N810.
