I'm probably the main person who reviews patches to ti-sn65dsi86.c
these days and I'm also typically the one landing patches, but
officially this driver goes through "drm-misc". IMO it's fine for this
to go through your tree and that's what I intended by my Ack. It seems
highly unlikely to cause any merge conflicts. That being said, since
we're drm-misc it means that the "adults" in the room (the ones who
have to deal with fallout if there are merge conflicts) are supposed
to be "Daniel, Jani and Sean" according to the docs [1].  ...though it
seems like the drm-misc-next pull requests these days come from
Maxime, so maybe he would be the right person to confirm that it could
go through your tree?
