Actually I'm so used to the workflow in other subsystems I was
expecting the subsys maintainer to pick it up. But I know that
is not how it works for the drm subsys and since I'm the vboxvideo
maintainer I guess it makes sense for me to pick this up and push it.

So yes I will pick this up and push it to drm-misc-next, sorry
for the confusion.

Regards,

Hans
