It fell between the cracks. I know the world isn't black and white, but
it doesn't help the maintainers when review is some shade of grey.
I've pushed this to drm-intel-next-fixes for now, but it has missed the
train for both the v4.1 release and the main drm-next feature pull
request for the v4.2 merge window. I expect this to land upstream in
v4.2-rc2, unless there's an additional drm-next pull request during the
merge window. I've added cc: stable.
Thanks for the patch, and I guess the review was, uh, "good enough for
me" now... :p
BR,
Jani.
