Part of me wants to have fully working drivers, but on the other hand,
both the rk3066-hdmi and also the inno-hdmi drivers are sort of one-off
drivers used by rk3066 and rk3036 (inno-hdmi) and most likely won't see
new SoCs using them in the future.


So I guess after thinking more about this, I should probably just apply
your patch to simplify the code and if by some magical happenings in
future someone really wants to spend time on either one of these drivers
they can always use "git revert" to bring back the old code?
