I'm currently quite busy and barely find enough time to do my work
as power-supply subsystem maintainer, but I already started to
rebase the series. I agree, that it would be very nice to move towards
usage of common DRM framework(s), but it's also nice to see which
patch breaks DSI ;)

P.S.: Laurent, if its helpful for your work I'm willing to sponsor
a Droid 4. It's OMAP4 based and uses a manually updated DSI panel.
