Thanks for updating the driver to a recent kernel. I didn't review the patch line by line, but with a brief look it looks fine. However, I'm not quite sure what to do with this patch. The problem is that the driver is a combined driver for the TC358765 chip and the panel on Blaze Tablet, and we are very much trying to fix that design issue so that the drivers for the chip and panel could be separate, as they should. So I fear that if I now accept the patch, it'll increase my burden of managing the display drivers during this design rework. Furthermore, to my knowledge the Blaze Tablet is quite a rare board, and it's not even supported in the mainline kernel, so this driver wouldn't be usable by itself. So if I'm right about the blaze tablet status, I'm inclined to say that I think this should be still kept out of tree.
