I have a rebased & tested version of the patches getting the Droid 4
panel working in this branch (together with 2 patches adding
backlight support for testing purposes). I will send it as a patch
series in a few minutes.

I also had a look at converting to DRM bridge/panel model and
started working on it in the following branch. It's completley
untested and probably not working at all. Also the most recent
patches are not yet properly splitted / formated. But they show
my idea of how this can be achieved:

1. Add DSI transfer() function
2. Convert custom functions to use transfer() instead
3. Convert to use mipi_dsi_host
4. Get rid of custom DSI related omapdss functions
5. at this point panel conversion can hopefully happen the
   same way as for the other modules

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sre/linux-n900.git/log/?h=omapdrm-5.2-with-dsi-untested-work-branch

P.S.: I will continue to work on this, but probably not in
the next 4 weeks. I'm currently very busy with non-kernel
tasks and still have to review > 200 power-supply patches.
