The general hardware code of both drivers is close enough for merging
may be done starting from anyone. But the general layout is not:

- my driver is DT driven and has one card with 2 CTRC's and 2 connectors.

- Russell's is non-DT, so, with some extra code I am not aware of, with
  any number of cards each one with one CRTC and one connector (no, I
  tried it, you cannot clone a connector of one card to the connector
  of another card).

So, for me, merging means enhance my code from Russell's, but I will
not go to a non-DT kernel.
