If this were cleanup, it would of course be a low priority work. But this is changing omapdrm to support DRM panels and bridges, which is needed to support many real products in the mainline kernel. Droid/N9 are no exceptions here, I have been keeping support for multiple boards out of mainline for this same reason: I don't want to add omapdrm specific code that will need to be rewritten and would complicate this big change. Well, Droid/N9 are different in the sense that they are much more complex cases than the boards I've been keeping out. In any case, Laurent was ok with merging the patches, so let's merge them after rebasing. Tomi -- Texas Instruments Finland Oy, Porkkalankatu 22, 00180 Helsinki. Y-tunnus/Business ID: 0615521-4.
