I guess we do not need to go *all* the way back to 3.12, since drm/msm
was somewhat ahead of curve on the work to get upstream kernels
working on various snapdragon devices without needing a pile of other
patches.  Maybe going back one or two LTS's would make sense?  I think
apq8064 was probably the one that was working on upstream kernel the
earliest without extra patches needed.  I can double check when that
was, I think that puts a reasonable upper bound on how far back to
backport.

Let me know if you want help backporting these patches..
