Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried by the fact that you ignore
reviews.

On the important reviews that you got that are to be seen as major
issues that block the inclusion, we have:
  - The fact that the HDMI driver is actually just a designware IP,
    and while you should use the driver that already exists, you just
    duplicated all that code.

  - The fact that you ignored Rob (v6) and I (v5) comment on using OF
    graph to model the connection between the display engine and the
    TCON. Something that Laurent also pointed out in this version.

  - The fact that you ignored that you needed an HDMI connector node
    as a child of the HDMI controller. This has been reported by Rob
    (v6) and yet again in this version by Laurent.

  - And finally the fact that we can't have several display engine in
    parallel, if needs be. This has happened in the past already on
    Allwinner SoCs, so it's definitely something we should consider in
    the DT bindings, since we can't break them.

Until those are fixed, I cannot see how this driver can be merged,
unfortunately.
