I understand, but my point is that if we apply the DT patch before the
driver patch, then the display won't be correctly initialized because
the old driver code only looks within the HDMI node for the additional
properties. Only after the drm/tegra patch is applied will the move in
DT be recognized by the driver.

So for now I've picked up the drm/tegra patch and then I'll apply the DT
change later on.
