There's no direct depency between 1&2 and 3&4, the only effect of
merging them through separate trees is that the bootup logo might not
show up when it's expected, until the trees are merged together. We
could merge them through separate trees if you prefer that (I forgot
to mention that in the cover letter), but I'm fine with putting them
all into drm-misc with your ack for 4.14.

Whatever you prefer, I don't mind either way.
