Actually, it is not that bad. The changes at the code are incremental. 
I suspect that the initial patch is actually a folded changeset for
the Linaro's 4.9 Kernel tree. The changes afterwards happened inside
the Linaro tree, more or less following the usual one patch per
logical change approach.

On the top of that, there are the changes I did myself, in order to port
it from 4.9. Having those at the history helps a lot, in the case
I made any mistake on such ports.

A review on the folded change should be enough. In case of doubts
about something, the detailed changeset could be useful, specially
to help identifying eventual mistakes I could have done during the 
port.

Anyway, my plan is to first get the non-DRM changesets reviewed, as
I may need to modify some things depending on the feedback from
the other subsystems.

Thanks,
Mauro
