So, with simplefb reverted in U-Boot and ...

* with just the v6 applied (...~2), I get only a black screen from
Linux, no penguins, but the backlight seems on. System comes up okay,
ssh available, and nothing stands out in dmesg.

* with the two iommu patches on top, something breaks badly, no
backlight, no USB/network, system inaccessible.

I.e. U-Boot had no noticeable impact on these symptoms.

* with the iommu patches, but dp-controller, ps8622, panel commented
out, I do get backlight but USB/network not working, system inaccessible.

With simplefb support in U-Boot and with just v6 applied, but
dp-controller, ps8622, panel commented out, things work as well as
before, i.e. this series has no bad side effects. Note that I never
claimed Ajay's series were broken, just reported that things regressed
for me from v4, which may well be DT-related.

The iommu patches interfere with my USB somehow (none or not all devices
powered; with v4, plugging my wifi dongle led to oops but ethernet
dongle worked, so not entirely new symptom), which is bad since my
rootfs is on USB. The internal SDIO-connected Wifi is not enabled yet,
so USB based network is my only alternative to a working display once we
reach userspace.

Regards,
Andreas
