Any word on DisplayPort MST?

Does anyone know why the Rockchip drm driver did not make it? It seemed promising: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...er/069781.html

Could this be a problem with the device tree: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...r/069347.html? The DRM part seemed to be reviewed: > Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel at ffwll.ch> > Reviewed-by: Rob Clark <robdclark at gmail.com> if I understand this right.

just not ready to merge in time, I think.. Dave is pushing back against merging things which are not bug fixes after -rc5 of the previous release, and new drivers should probably be ready to go earlier than that

that's strange, new driver can't regress

well, actually it can... ie. break build for other arm archs, etc

anyways, not like 3.18 is the last kernel release ever..
