Well, it is not really a typo.

The Pandora driver does not need an update. Only the DTS.
So there is noting to merge or wait for.

Maybe the confusion comes that in both cases (GTA04 and OpenPandora)
there are changes to DTS.

But different ones.

GTA04: change vendor prefix to make it consistent
Pandora: remove redundant (unnecessary and potentially wrong) omapdss, prefix

In addition we have to modify the GTA04 panel to handle the correct
vendor prefix. The Pandora panel already uses the right one.

Anyways, I think it is now Tomi to decide about the panel driver
(vendor prefix) patch 1/4 and 2/4 first. Then we can sort out
the DTS changes (3/4 and 4/4).

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
