Re: Patch set: Display Origin Transforms rebase

 

Hi Reece, Wayne, Seth,

Can you clarify the path forward here?  Are we going to merge the second
patchset and then do follow-ons to take care of the issues Seth raised, or
will there be another full patchset coming?
I have a backlog of things to cherry-pick from 5.1 to master that I've been
holding on to until this is resolved.

Thanks,
-Jon
