Generally I don't take such patches unless they are part of the effort
to un-broken the driver. But is this patch a prerequisite of any cleanup
in DaVinci family or ARM architecture? What is the motivation of this
patch?

Sekhar/Tony,

This DaVinci glue driver has been marked as BROKEN since 2013 and seems
no one complained about it. Is there any development on the DaVinci
devices still active? Does it make sense to remove this driver out of
the kernel instead?

-Bin.
