Sorry, one more small request: Could you create a branch that only has
the DRM driver changes in it?

The reason I ask, is that since the HiKey960 isn't affected by the
majority of the problems you listed as motivation for going through
staging. So if we can validate that your tree works fine on HiKey960,
the series can be cleaned up and submitted properly upstream to enable
that SoC, and the outstanding 970 issues can be worked out afterwards
against mainline.

thanks
