I applied Sam's series, and fixed it to work for me. It looked like
Rob's patch had been rolled into Sam's series, and I didn't take
ownership of Sam's series, as I assume he'll continue on it, but I
haven't asked or heard either way yet. Sam's series is only from
February, so I would not presume to consider that it is abandoned yet.

The changes I made have either already been highlighted by the build
bots on Sam's series, or I have replied to his series with the fixes I
made.

My changes to his series are on my branch as separate squash: commits so
they're easy to see or take if Sam wants to collect the fixes, but
there's nothing complex there, that isn't easily solved locally.

If Sam's series is abandoned, then I guess my 'Implement SN65DSI86 IRQ
HPD' patch will now have a 11:1 ratio of patches that I have to take
custodianship of vs author myself ;-) (And even most of the work I have
done has been squashed into Laurent's patches already)

Sam, What is your plan on your series at [1], are you still actively
planning to work on it?
