Does anyone have any comments on this patch series? It would probably
make sense to wait to land until early in a kernel's release cycle, so
perhaps there is no hurry. That being said, it would still be good to
know what the plan is.

Abhinav: I think you're the one that was most concerned with removing
the special case for ps8640. Does that mean you'd be willing to review
this patch?

For whether or not the "tc358762" panel works with the MSM display
driver after this series, are the correct people on this thread?

Thanks!
