Hi!

I want to make it clear that I don't want to claim any privilege in getting 
patches merged first. I am however worried that, without an easy way to test 
DSI support, and without enough time to focus on it, I would break whatever 
would be merged now in future reworks. I would thus like to find out how to 
collaborate on this task, hopefully to move towards usage of drm_bridge and 
drm_panel for DSI-based pipelines.

Real users with mainline kernel with a real product should
always have priority over any ongoing clean-up.

And for testing, a bunch of real users is something you can't
beat for proper testing of code on ongoing basis!

Naturally the burden of getting the patches ready is on the people
using them for rebase and fixing comments. And Sebastian has
already agreed help with maintaining it.

I've been actually using DSI command mode support and testing
Linux next several times a week to prevent regressions from
sneaking into -rc1 in general. So now I can't test omapdrm with
next until Sebastian is done with rebasing.. Back to headless
testing then.

Anyways, I'd say let's add the DSI command mode support ASAP after
rebasing, there are at least Sebastian, Pavel and I then testing
and helping with further ongoing panel conversion work.

Are there any news here? Does someone have a patch set that actually
works?

I was wondering about that too.. I only have the v4.19-rc1 based
patches and can no longer test with Linux next. Sebastian, any
update?

Are there any in-progress patches I could help with?

I can put in some effort too if needed.

Regards,

Tony
