I see this is applied to the master branch, which I assume is -next material.

We'd prefer if this patch, and "media: sun6i: Add H3 compatible", were applied
as fixes for 5.0-rc. That way the bindings and drivers are fixed up in the same
release as they were introduced in, and we wouldn't be carrying an incorrect
binding, even if it were only for just one release.


Thanks
