Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"I Was Almost Tempted To Capitalise Every Word, but then I decided I
couldn't read it myself!
I've also got one pull request for the sti driver outstanding. It
relied on a commit in Greg's tree and I didn't find out in time, that
commit is in your tree now so I might send that along once this is
merged.
I also had the accidental misfortune to have access to a Skylake on my
desk for a few days, and I've had to encourage Intel to try harder,
which seems to be happening now.
Here is the main drm-next pull request for 4.4.
Highlights:
New driver:
vc4 driver for the Rasberry Pi VPU.
(From Eric Anholt at Broadcom.)
Core:
Atomic fbdev support
Atomic helpers for runtime pm
