Thanks for reply, I get your remark. DRM people are mostly CC'ed here,
hopefully it won't be that difficult to tune their established workflow to
make the stable process easier and more straightforward.

As of now, would you mind to take the revert for 6.1? It's [PATCH 1/1] in
this thread. No point to keep it there, and the duplicated commits were
already reverted from the fresher stable kernels.
