Yes, I think that should be fine as these fines are in maintenance mode and
the only recent change I see to them is to modify the FSF address, which
seems far away from the hunks in this patch-set.

In other words, I think the chance of conflicts is small and I am fine with
these changes going through the DRM tree if that is where the breakage
manifests.

I am of course, happy to take them if the DRM maintainer(s) prefer
me to.
