I choose not to merge them, because they are self-contained
respectively and splitting them makes the patch number(14) of the "Add
some DRM bridge drivers support for i.MX8qm/qxp SoCs" series look
better.  I guess this series will land prior to the other one, so I
would drop this patch from that series and state the dependency
there(actually, I mentioned I also sent this patch via this series
there).

Thanks for your review :)
