I got OK via irc to take some simple panel bindings patches.
Which explains the lack of a-b or r-b on this patch from any DT folks.

So I processed what was in queue.
Maybe the OK was only for a smaller set of patches but I did process
only panel-bindings that I was ready to add my r-b on.

To my best knowledge a kernel user is not a requirement.
In this case there is a patch in-the-works and I considered to
wait until the patch was ready. But decided to process the DT-binding
as the binding is a prerequisite for the panel driver,
but not the other way around. Again to my understanding.

So everything was done to avoid having panel patches hanging in
dri-devel for excessive amount of time.
One could say that this was already the case that they had waited for
too long.

Another - not so obvious thing . was that having all patches in
drm-misc-next allows us to have an easier time migrating all panel
patches to yaml which I hope will take place in the next month or two.
I am waiting for the inital patch-set by Rob to land, and then there
is some janitorial job to migrate remainign panel bindings to yaml.
This is easier to do with everyting in drm-misc-next rather than asking
several different persons to do it.
Once done there will be lot of examples to work from, so for new panel
bindings it should be easier.
