I wonder how this series will make it in. While I would prefer these
patches to go in together (that I can consider this thread completed in
one go), I think with how drm maintenace works, it's best if the patches
are picked up by their individual maintainers. I guess that's:

 - Frank Binns + Matt Coster for imagination

 - Chun-Kuang Hu + Philipp Zabel for mediatek

 - Thierry Reding + Mikko Perttunen for the host1x driver
   (Note there is another patch for this driver set at
    20240409165043.105137-2-u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de that is
    relevant for the same quest.)

 - Philipp Zabel for ipu-v3

I plan to send a patch changing struct platform_driver::remove after the
end of the merge window leading to 6.10-rc1 for inclusion in next via
Greg's driver core. So please either care the patches land in 6.10-rc1
or ack that I include them in the submission to Greg.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Uwe
