Err :(,  please give me a chance to explain

I can guarantee to you that I test may code more than twice. The code 
used to testing is listed at link [1].

This patchset  mainly used to illustrate how  we made the driver in [1] 
usable on our SoC platform.

Loongson display controller IP has been integrated in both Loongson
North Bridge chipset(ls7a1000 and ls7a2000) and Loongson SoCs(ls2k1000
and ls2k2000 etc), it even has been included in Loongson BMC(ls2k0500 bmc)
products.

When use this driver on Loongson embedded platform(say ls2k2000, 
ls2k1000 and ls2k0500)  ,

the PMON/Uboot firmware(my company using pmon most of time) will pass a 
DT to the kernel.

Different boards will pass different DTs. But when using this driver on 
Loongson server and

PC platform( ls3c5000/ls3a5000+ls7a1000/ls7a2000), there will no DT 
supplied. The firmware

and kernel side developer of Loongson choose ACPI+UEFI for such 
platform, more discussion

can be found at [2]. Therefore, on such a situation we decide to send 
the patch at separate patchset.

It is not like the arm  and risc-v, as the binding would not be always 
exits. If we put those patches

into a same patchset, some reviewers would suggest us to revise our code.

To a form that the code *ALWAYS*  probed from the DT, this is not desired.

Besides, the driver code + dt support is petty large, separate it is 
more easy to review and manage.

Finally,  Thanks your kindly guiding and valuable reviews.
