Silly question:

Does this series cover the same functionality/hardware as the separate
sun8i driver proposed a few months back ?
The diff stat looks quite different (~1.6k vs ~0.6k), although that
could be due to reusing the existing sun4i code.

Thanks

Since those aren't feature equivalent, this is a bit complicated to
answer, but most of the changes introduced by the old driver was
duplication of code that was already existing (Allwinner TCON, TV
Encoder, Designware HDMI, etc).

This patchset superseeds it by using what is already supported without
the duplication. It also has a bit less features (for example the HDMI
support is missing for now), but it's a much better code base to base
our future work on.
