Boris, David,

I realize that I already gave my acknowledgement to this driver for the
v7 revision. It was before it is split.
For the record, here is my review and the message:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/8/219

As I had said:
"I'm absolutely not an expert in DRM drivers" but here is my:

Acked-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@xxxxxxxxx>

On the driver and associated DT binding.

Thanks, bye,
