I think even if the bridges aren't ready yet, the driver is in a good
enough shape to merge it. There's no point in letting it accumulate
bitrot while waiting for the bridges to land. Also I guess it will make
bridge driver development a lot easier when the DCSS driver is in-tree.

Please consider applying for drm-misc merge rights. Even if you don't
do the initial merge I think it will come in handy in the long run.

Sure, I'm having some time available this week. I'll give this v9
another spin on my boards and will do the merge after that.
