I really meant that for 4.7, not for the current merge window. I just want to 
make sure it goes into a maintainer tree shortly after v4.6-rc1, before

The previous example (dw_hdmi generalization between imx and rockchip) did 
just go through the imx tree. So either the Samsung or Rockchip drm-trees 
might be enough?
