This seems to be similar to Sascha's "drm: bridge/dw_hdmi: remove unused
code" patch, except that the hdmi_disable_overflow_interrupts function
could be removed too.

I'm still very interested to see at least the "gpu: imx: fix support for
interlaced modes" and "gpu: imx: simplify sync polarity setting" merged.
May I take them into the imx-drm tree separately?

Or, if I can influence your decision in this matter, I'd prefer if you
could once more resend last month's series with Thierry in Cc:, and he'd
either queue them with my Ack for the imx-drm patches or give his Ack
for you or me to queue them.
