[PATCH] drm-misc: Next phase in small drivers in drm-misc

I think the initial experiment worked fairly well, and the
kickstarting of a review (well, ack/best practices really) market
seems to work ok-ish too. I think we can try to make it (slowly) scale
to more drivers, with driver teams interested in being part of
drm-misc. I do think we need to be careful though, to make sure we
don't overstretch the review/mentoring bandwidth and can improve
process&tooling as we go.
