As we briefly discussed on IRC the first 21 patches are now applied to
drm-misc-next.
The rcar-du specific patches was left out and the last patch was
likewise not applied in this round- mostly because it was the coming
after several rcar-du patches and I was not sure if there was some
dependencies to consider.
With this set in we have more examples in the tree how to do proper
bridges which is good.
While applying the new r-bs was ofc added.
