Okay, so I've separated the first two patches out into a separate stable
branch that I can share between the Tegra and drm/tegra trees to pull in
the build dependency and then I've applied the driver patches to those
two trees and I've verified that the two branches build correctly. I've
not done any runtime testing, but I'll trust you on that.

One last remaining question: I don't think I can apply that one patch if
it requires that all the others are enabled first because it would
basically create a circular dependency.

Can I pick up the final 7 patches (the DT ones) independently of that
one patch without things breaking? If so, one option we could try is to
wait for both Tegra and drm/tegra trees to get merged into v5.17-rc1 and
then send that one patch (which is only a 4-line diff) right after
v5.17-rc1 so that it makes it into v5.17-rc2. That avoids the circular
dependency and should get everything enabled for v5.17.

Do you see any problems with that?
