Laurent has been cc'ed on the entire patchset.
Should I have added cc: laurent.pinchart at ideasonboard.com in the
cma commit message instead?

I'm not sure who should get what in a patchset like this.
I use git send-email, and have included all parties for the entire patchset,
but should Tomi for instance have received only the fbdev patch and
nothing else?
