Ok. I backported the 5 patches we'd need. The only issue with that
AFAICS is to resolve any conflict between drm-intel-fixes and dinq, but
that looks manageable. I did have to resolve one conflict in one of the
patches while backporting, so I pushed them to
https://github.com/ideak/linux/commits/gmbus-fix-backport

I can also send the rebased versions to the list if needed.
