I was able to make things work by taking your topic/hda-core-intel, 
merge it on Mark's for-next, then add my additional changes and these 
DRM changes. The last two can be done in any order. But I am getting 
some conflicts if I try to apply these DRM changes first, not sure why 
git is complaining though, the changes look trivial enough.
So yes it looks possible to deal with the two series in parallel, will 
send my update later today.
