[PATCH v19 0/2] PS8640 MIPI-to-eDP bridge

Hi!

This driver seems to have fallen by the wayside because, while otherwise
fine, it has a firmware update feature that requires a blob that is not in
the linux-firmware repo.[1]

Whatever the cause for that may be, the update code is entirely optional
(my chip works fine with whatever firmware is currently installed), so I
have removed it in order to get this merged after all. I have also
followed various trivial API changes that have piled up since 2016; see
the individual patches for details.

I'm using this driver on an Acer Chromebook R13 ("Elm"); see
https://github.com/uli/kernel/tree/elm-working-5.4.
