What do you mean by "precursor patches" ?

If by precursor patches you mean the dependencies of the DRM driver,
here is a quick status:

- The atmel-hlcdc [1] MFD driver has been taken by Lee Jones
- My series reworking the flip-work infrastructure [2] has been acked by
  Rob and is waiting for you (I guess I should rebase it on
  3.18-rcX or drm-next) ;-)
- My series sharing video bus format definitions between the V4L2 and
  DRM subsystems [3] is still being discussed. AFAICT, the only blocking
  point is that we need a documentation describing the available
  formats and we don't know which format to use (DocBook or txt) and
  where this documentation should be stored.

Regarding the driver itself, I still have to address Nicolas' (Ferre)
comments, and Thierry (Reding) was concerned by the proposed DT
binding (don't know if it's still the case).

Anyway, I really expect this driver to merged in 3.19 so let me know if
you see other blocking issues...

Best Regards,

Boris
