Hm we indeed don't have an entry for drivers/gpu, but there is one for
gpu/drm overall:

DRM DRIVERS
M:	David Airlie <airlied at linux.ie>
M:	Daniel Vetter <daniel at ffwll.ch>
L:	dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org
S:	Maintained
B:	https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm
C:	irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel
T:	git git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm
F:	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/
F:	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpu/
F:	Documentation/gpu/
F:	drivers/gpu/drm/
F:	drivers/gpu/vga/
F:	include/drm/
F:	include/linux/vga*
F:	include/uapi/drm/

I'll do a patch to include drivers/gpu here, not sure why that's
different.
