With this specific series I also need to figure out what all the video
side is about (like I said earlier a lot of the patches look like
they're supposed to be simple fixes for the video code not terribly
closely tied to the rest of the series but none of them are getting
applied) and what the end goal is beyond mechanically moving code.

The end goal of this series is to fix OMAP HDMI audio, that got broken
couple of releases ago. At the same time I cleaned up the old complex scheme
to make the connection between the video and audio parts and allow multiple
HDMI devices (DSS side is not ready for this yet, but audio side is).

But in what way is it broken and how did this happen?  Why are none of
the patches which look like they're supposed to be bug fixes early on in
the series getting applied?  I had thought this was just a lack of
interest on the video side but it seems there's some other problems
since the series has apparently been discussed off-list and still it's
just as big as it was initially.
