hi Shawn,

well, for imx8mq the only missing piece is the mxsfb icc bandwidth
request. I posted a first version a year ago but that didn't make it
in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20201201103757.32165-1-martin.kepplinger@puri.sm/

So this should create a working state until the real fix in mxsfb is
there (although I'd revert commit ad1abc8a03fd ("arm64: dts: imx8mq:
Add interconnect for lcdif") instead). I am indeed to blame for this
and I'm sorry I haven't yet taken the time to work on mxsfb again.

I can say I plan to do so soon, but without promise that I quickly find
a solution that'll be merged...

If you merge this (or revert ad1abc8a03fd), I'll remember to revert
with said update.

thanks,
                        martin
