Seems reasonable to me. I added a request to the panel-edp patch that
probably applies to all of the panel patches requesting a comment next
to the old calls in get_modes().

I assume that all but patch #8 ought to land through drm-misc. I'm
happy to help commit them once everyone is happy. If the Mediatek
maintainer(s) want to Ack patch #8 I can land that in drm-misc too. If
we want something fancier like an immutable branch you'll probably
have to get someone involved that's got a higher drm pay grade than
me. ;-)
