I have to admit I didn't go through every line of the patches, but
overall I think this looks good. The only problem is the support for
DSS6, which I mentioned in the other mail.

We don't have DSS6 support in mainline, but it's a critical thing for TI
to support. If it helps, we can upstream the current DSS6 driver (which
is not very big), so that these can be reworked with DSS6 included. Or
we can delay upstreaming DSS6, but we must get the out-of-mainline DSS6
driver working on top of these (which, afaics, is not possible at the
moment).
