My branch is currently as-is and not aware of Tony's patches and based on v5.3-rc3.
I think I will have to remove some glue code which tries to do the platform
reset and enables clocks and replace by pm_runtime_get_sync() before it fits
together. Then we can likely remove the omap-pvr-soc-glue branch at least
partially and/or replace by Tony's patches before they arrive in mainline.

The current status of my branch is that it works on OMAP5/Pyra but a
quick test on BeagleBone or GTA04 did show some reset/clock errors and
it did not more than creating /proc/pvr. pvrsrvctl --start did fail.

Which means that the omap-pvr-soc-glue patches are currently broken
with 5.3-rc3 anyways...

I'll look at it as soon as possible.

Good to know and keep in mind.
