Not saying that these patches were promised as part of this series (as
said, "which still seem to be pending"), just making clear that this
series if of no use to me (no hurry to get the code in my hands sooner)
until the DSI patches are also shared which I would have started working
on myself if I didn't know QUIC was picking it up to distract from the
current v1.1 broken-ness on SM8150 and SM8250.

To set my (and at least Neil's) expectations straight as well: DSC 1.2
HW support should come in a separate series without DP support.  Smaller
series (not to mention appropriately split-up patches) lead to a
decrease in scope, less dependencies and hopefully more efficient v2 -
for all involved.
