I'm trying /not/ to do that much more work on this because there's
other things that need my attention, like a complete rewrite of the
SDHCI mess.  I want to get the imx-drm stuff off my plate so I don't
have to worry about it.

So, I'd really like _all_ these patches to go into mainline for v3.15
with the least rework possible so I can spend the next few months
working on rewriting SDHCI.

What I don't want is carrying hundreds of patches across multiple
kernel versions.

Now, mind explaining what "v4l2 style device tree bindings" means?  I've
no idea since I'm relatively new to DT.
