Re: [PATCH v3 00/22] Associate ddc adapters with connectors

[Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>]

Hi Andrzej,

Just FYI, I have a patch series that reworks how bridges and connectors
are handled, and it will heavily conflict with this. The purpose of the
two series isn't the same, so both make sense. I will post the patches
this weekend, and will then review this series in that context.
Hopefully we'll get the best of both worlds :-)
