Hey Liu,

This patch seems to be included in both this series and the "Add some
DRM bridge drivers support for i.MX8qm/qxp SoCs" series. Instead of
having the two series have a conflict I would suggest either merging
them (if that makes sense) or removing this patch from one of them and
explicitly stating that there is a dependency on the other series.

(the patch itself still looks good though :) )
