[PATCH 1/2] drm/doc: Allow new UAPI to be used once it's in the driver's -next.

[Eric Anholt]

I was trying to figure out if it was permissible to merge the Mesa
side of V3D's CSD support yet while it's in drm-misc-next but not
drm-next, and developers on #dri-devel IRC had differing opinions of
what the requirement was.  Propose a clarification here to see if Dave
Airlie agrees.

Personally, I thought the rule was "has to be in drm-next", but
assuming our review processes aren't totally broken, this should be
enough.
