Because Rob asked for the driver-local implementation of the property add function to be replaced by Pantelis' series. I want to get the LVDS changes in v4.17 and asked Rob whether I could then take the OF changeset patches merged through the DRM tree, and he didn't object. If that causes an issue I'll switch back to the driver-local implementation to get the driver changes merged, split the OF changeset series out, and then move to the OF changeset API once merged.
