I'll try and get round to testing once more of the pieces are in place.

I have now pushed some new branches rebased onto 5.8-rc5 for the JZ4730 and 
JZ4780:

paulb-jz4730-letux400-5.8-rc5
paulb-jz4780-ci20-hdmi-5.8-rc5

I hope this was the right thing to do. I had to fix quite a few conflicts 
including in various device tree files for ARM-based devices, although these 
typically resulted in the conflicts evaporating and me having to do "git 
rebase --skip" to continue (since "git rebase --continue" said that there was 
nothing changed).

The JZ4730 branch hasn't seen any more work yet: it only has TCU, CGU and 
pinctrl, I think. For some reason, jz4730.dtsi was missing, so I have added it 
and corrected the CGU references.

The JZ4780 branch should have a working LCD controller, but the HDMI signal is 
still not yet working. However, I did fix the hotplug event kernel panic.

Both branches compile successfully but obviously need testing!
