I'm not sure I understand why tilcdc people are an obstacle for the
component stuff, other than the lack of responsiveness. In any case, if
you have some tilcdc or tda998x patches and you need help with the mainline
process, feel free to ask.

I've been doing some tilcdc work lately, and I'd be happy to help you with
that.

Do you plan to change the devicetree binding? While the current one works fine,
it has several deficiencies, and it would be great to sort them out before
the whole platform becomes obsolete.

Really, if you need help and if you think I can handle it, just drop me a line
and I'll see what I can do.
