I only skimmed over the platform patches and spend only a few minutes on 
the amdgpu stuff.

 From what I've seen this series seems to make perfect sense to me, I 
just can't fully judge everything.

So feel free to add Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> 
but I strongly suggest that Harry and Rodrigo take a look as well.

Regards,
Christian.
