Ok, I will improve the commit log.

Philipp Zabel mentioned that he will submit the imx-drm driver out of staging:

My understading from your reply at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg280395.html

,was that the imx-hdmi driver could be moved out of staging (actually
it is not even in staging yet), when it becomes in good shape.

As we had so many issues with the previous imx-hdmi patch version, I
thought it was better to still send v3 to staging so that we could go
through more reviews/testing. Please let me know if I should do it
differently for v4.

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
