The big motivation for this patch series is mostly described in the patch
("drm/panel: Add a way for other devices to follow panel state"), but to
quickly summarize here: for touchscreens that are connected to a panel we
need the ability to power sequence the two device together. This is not a
new need, but so far we've managed to get by through a combination of
inefficiency, added costs, or perhaps just a little bit of brokenness.
It's time to do better. This patch series allows us to do better.

Assuming that people think this patch series looks OK, we'll have to
figure out the right way to land it. The panel patches and i2c-hid
patches will go through very different trees and so either we'll need
an Ack from one side or the other or someone to create a tag for the
other tree to pull in. This will _probably_ require the true drm-misc
maintainers to get involved, not a lowly committer. ;-)

Version 4 of this series adds a new patch that suspends i2c-hid
devices at remove time even for non panel-followers to make things
consistent. It also attempts to isolate the panel follower code a bit
more as per Benjamin's feedback on v3 and adds an item to the DRM todo
list as per Maxime's request. As per Maxime's response to my v3 cover
letter, I added his Reviewed-by tag to all 10 patches that were part
of v3 (but left it off of the new i2c-hid patch in v4).

Version 3 of this series was a long time coming after v2. Maxime and I
had a very long discussion trying to figure out if there was a beter
way and in the end we didn't find one so he was OK with the series in
general [1]. After that got resolved, I tried to resolve Benjamin's
feedback but got stuck [2]. Eventually I made my best guess. The end
result was a v3 that wasn't that different from v2 but that had a tiny
bit more code split out.

Version 2 of this patch series didn't change too much. At a high level:
* I added all the forgotten "static" to functions.
* I've hopefully made the bindings better.
* I've integrated into fw_devlink.
* I cleaned up a few descriptions / comments.

As far as I can tell, as of v4 everyone is on the same page that this
patch series looks like a reasonable solution to the problem and we
just need to get all the nits fixed and figure out how to land it.

Thanks a lot for the new version. I like it much more on the HID side:

for the HID part:
Reviewed-by: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@kernel.org>

I wouldn't mind having this series taken from the drm tree if that is
easier. i2c-hid is a low patch rate driver, so having it updated through
DRM should not be an issue.

In that case:

Thanks for your reviews and your help getting this whipped into shape.

Lading through drm makes sense to me. I'm a drm committer, so with
your Ack I believe it should be fine for me to land the series (minus
the dts) in drm-misc-next. This series has been around for a while,
has been reviewed by relevant folks, and the last few changes haven't
fundamentally changed anything about the design, so I'm not going to
twiddle my thumbs too long. That being said, I'll still plan to wait
until early next week (Tuesday?) before landing to allow for any last
minute shouts.

Given how drm-misc works [1] and the fact that mainline is currently
at v6.5-rc3 (it will be -rc4 when I land it), I'd expect that these
commits will find their way into v6.6.

Pushed the first 10 patches to drm-misc-next. Bjorn: whenever it's
convenient you could land patch #11 (the device tree change) into the
Qualcomm tree.
