I think patches 1+2 can just go to the i915 tree. The i915 driver changes often,
so going through that tree makes sense. The cec-notifier code is unlikely to change,
and I am fine with that patch going through i915.

Patch 7? I only count 6?

If 1+2 go through drm and 3-6 go through mfd, then media isn't affected at all.
There is chance of a conflict when this is eventually pushed to mainline for
the media Kconfig, but that's all.
