Sure, I'll do once the PTN3460 and PS8622 bridge drivers get merged since
this patch depends on those and I would prefer to not have so many
in-flight patches with dependencies.

I just posted this patch before these two drivers landed because I noticed
that many people were wasting time figuring out the correct set of options
in order to have display working.
