Linus, unless you have more info I'm going to apply the patch as
is. Removing this special case would be welcome as a later patch.

I'd say go ahead as-is.

I'm fine with that, but I really want this removed at some point.

If Luca wanna fix this up (drop this path) that's fine by me,
else send a patch immediately after this is applied and I'll
ACK it.

I do have the idea to code up and submit the AV8100 encoder
and I have the hardware to test it, but every other user should
be using panels directly, and I would be the only non-panel
user so I can deal with it when it comes up.

It won't change a thing. All existing "panel" users will be bridge users
after this patch is merged. So whether you want to enable a bridge or
not shouldn't matter, the only thing that does is whether the existing
users would still work.

I know, all it does is create a snag that I would run into myself.

But it's not gonna be a problem for anyone else, that's all I meant.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
