[PATCH 0/8] Some fixes for the rockchip dw_mipi_dsi driver

[Christopher Morgan]

I’ve been on holiday and not able to add my Tested-By yet, I do apologize. It will probably be another week and a half before I can, but I will check these out and if they cause problems I’ll let you know/start work on a fix.

Thank you.
