Could you merge v4.8-rc3 into drm-next? After backmerging
drm-intel-fixes-2016-08-15 with -s ours, v4.8-rc3 just auto-merges
cleanly, but I assume I shouldn't do that inside an imx-drm pull
request.

Since imx-drm-fixes-2016-08-29 is based on v4.8-rc3, I'd otherwise have
to pull it in with that backmerge, to resolve the conflict between
commit c6c1f9bc798b ("drm/imx: Add active plane reconfiguration
support") that went into v4.8-rc5 and the newer version in imx-drm/next.
