Hey Nicolas,

The patch series doesn't seem to apply on the latest media tree master
branch. Looking at your tree I can see that you have commit: ba2c670a
"media: nxp: Restrict VIDEO_IMX_MIPI_CSIS to ARCH_MXC or COMPILE_TEST
Laurent Pinchart authored 1 week ago "

But the current head of the media tree is: 71e6d0608e4d
"media: platform: Remove unnecessary print function dev_err()
Yang Li authored 13 days ago"

I think it would be great if we could add some performance metrics to
the commit description to have a metric that following patches could
compare themselves with.
