Whoever you were referring to with the "temporary fix" :D

Hm you mean the vexpress PLD should be a bridge and not just
some magic registers poked by the DRM driver?

OK fair point. But it will need proper representing in the DT then,
I guess that is what you mean by "DT gets fixed". It's not just
the DT that needs fixing then but also the driver(s).
