Hi all,

I've gone through some of the contentions point in this patch review. With
my community guy hat on I really want to make drm atomic a success, exynos
atomic is important for that.

Imo the cleanups make perfect sense as prep work for atomic. They're
definitely needed afaict from what I've seen reading exynos code and these
patches here before we can implement atomic.

Personally I'd have delayered even more aggressively before going into the
atomic stuff. But in the end I guess Padovan wants to be able to ship
exynos atomic preferrably sooner than later.

Cheers, Daniel
