Nice patch!

Well, I'm just curious about why the drm/ingenic and drm/gma500 are not maintained through drm-misc?

As far as I know:
1) the drm/ingenic driver don't have a "T" annotation (location of the link).
2) the "T" of drm/gma500 is "git git://github.com/patjak/drm-gma500", but the code for this link is not up to date.

I think at least the drm/ingenic and drm/gma500 drivers are *actually* maintained through drm-misc,
So perhaps, these two drivers should not be excluded. Am I correct?
