Yeah there was some missed patches. drm-misc-fixes is now in drm-fixes,
and drm-misc-next-fixes is included in drm-misc-fixes, for which Thomas
will do a pull request on Thu so it will land in -rc2.

It should also now be in linux-next.

But yes somehow bugfixes got a bit lost during the merge window.
