Same here, this is the second time I tested this series (first time was
v6 on October 25 [2]) and I think that has been out there for too long.

Tested-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>

Tested-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <redacted>

So we have 3 tests (Doug, Caesar and me) for the Rockchip side as well as
Javier for the Exynos side based on the most recent drm state.

As said by a lot of people it would be cool to get this merged soon -
hopefully directly after -rc1. The only remaining question is through
which
tree it should go.

I guess there are two basic options:
- Inki takes the series - we could see the Rockchip-Ack being implied but
maybe Mark can provide an explicit one
- Mark takes the series with an Ack from Inki for the shared parts

Inki, Mark do you have a preference?

The problem would be that there is no drm bridge maintainer. I think the
most suitable person as the maintainer would be Ajay Kumar who is an author
of drm bridge framework. Of course, I could take them and have pull-request
again. But it seems a little late. Dave had already pull-request.

I really meant that for 4.7, not for the current merge window. I just want to 
make sure it goes into a maintainer tree shortly after v4.6-rc1, before 
something else changes the exynos-dp again :-).

To Ajay,
How about adding you as a drm bridge maintainer? DRM SoC driver maintainers
would need a person who can manage the drm bridge relevant pathes.

The previous example (dw_hdmi generalization between imx and rockchip) did 
just go through the imx tree. So either the Samsung or Rockchip drm-trees 
might be enough?

In this case, someone else may send an email again like you "who is going to merge?"
That would be why we need a maintainer.

drm panel is already managed well by Thierry Reding without such confusion. 

Thanks,
Inki Dae
