They are orthogonal to me though. Mine fixes the spurious LVDS error
messages that you were mentionning in your commit log. Your point here
is that we shouldn't need to even register the LVDS and RGB output
when there's no channel 0. This is obviously true, but it should be in
a separate patch.

I'll fix it when applying.
