As far as I know, imx is kind of in-between at the moment. Some patches
are going through drm-misc, but others are coming through their tree.
For kmb (if that's what you meant), then I would expect intel to do the
maintenance like they do for i915.
But given this discussion it could be a good idea to add all the
maintainers of those excluded drivers in Cc in the next revision.
