Frieder,

I have been monitoring some of the activity on the BLK_CTL.  It seems
like there is some disagreement on how to connect the power domain
controller with the BLK_CTL.  Someone reported that it causes a hang
on the 8MP, so until that gets resolved, I doubt we'll be able to use
the display system.  Some of the DSIM changes happening are being
pushed back for further changes, so it seems like having the full
integration might be a while.
