Thanks!

The LVDS and the DSI clocks are shared from a common parent, so I am
not sure of the impact of this.  I have an IMX8MP and I have it
working with DSI->HDMI and the LVDS, but I was waiting on the DSI
series from Jagan to get applied first and I wanted to make sure this
series gets accepted before I started work on the 8MP.

I will be traveling to Thailand for the next 3 weeks, so I'm hoping to
review the 8MP when I return.
