Ah, right.  You need to be based upon commit 85437cddf4e5
("dt-bindings: drm/msm/a6xx: Document GMU and update GPU bindings")
from Rob Clark's msm-next AKA
<git://people.freedesktop.org/~robclark/linux>

...so I guess the easiest is to have the bindings could go through Rob
Clark's tree and the code through you tree if that's what people want
to do?
