Landed these three patches to drm-misc-next w/ accumulated tags:
$ git log --oneline -3
6ed19359d6bd drm/panel-edp: Allow querying the detected panel via debugfs
2509969a9862 drm: Plumb debugfs_init through to panels
e283820cbf80 drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Use drm_bridge_connector
If it turns out that we want to add more reporting when debugfs calls
return errors then I'm happy to submit follow-on patches. Discussion
about that can be found in:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAD=FV=Ut3N9syXbN7i939mNsx3h7-u9cU9j6=XFkz9vrh0Vseg@mail.gmail.com
Unless something changes, though, my current plan is not to do
follow-up patches and leave this as-is without any extra error
reporting.
