Sorry, I didn't see this conversation before my earlier emails.

I was suggesting to Andy to arrange his patches like this:
 (1) fixes that directly apply to imx-drm as it is today.
 (2) split out the "generic dw_hdmi" parts from imx-hdmi into dw_hdmi.c
 (3) convert dw_hdmi.c to a drm_bridge
 (4) move the dw_hdmi.c bridge implementation to drm/bridge
 (5) modifications to dw_hdmi.c required to support hdmi on rk3288
 (5) add rk3288-hdmi.c to drm/rockchip (at least whenever drm/rockchip lands)

The idea being that we can start landing the patches for (1) even
while we are still debating / reviewing (2)+ upstream.

imx-drm is still in staging.  I do not see anyone listed explicitly
under MAINTAINERS for drivers/staging/imx-drm, so by default I guess
it falls back to gregkh (drivers/staging/)?
The "Commit" field in git log seems to back this up.

Although, based on Author, I think we also want the opinions of
Philipp Zabel and Russel King.
