I have pulled all the latest patches, including Marek's off-list patches 
together in one branch based on v5.10-rc7 [1] if anyone is interested.

I added some fixes on top, that I needed to get my display behind 
another Toshiba DSI-DPI bridge working. Those are probably not 
upstreamable at all and need further investigation.

I'm hoping to reply to the individual threads for more feedback. I see 
that there are some blocking issues, but we hopefully get them resolved 
somehow.

Thanks
Frieder
