As mentioned in the cover-letter, to avoid breaking bi-sectability
as well as to avoid breaking the intel-gfx CI we need to merge this series
in one go through one tree. Specifically through the drm-intel tree.
Is that ok with you ?

If this is ok with you, then you do not have to do anything, I will just push
the entire series to drm-intel. drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c
does not see much changes so I do not expect this to lead to any conflicts.

Hans
