Hi Jani,

I need your help merging this series, as it touches files in both drm-intel and drm-misc:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/71637/

The first patch touches some i915 files, and applies cleanly to both
dinq and drm-misc-next.

The second patch relies on the first patch as well as on the new panel_orientation
member of struct drm_cmdline_mode which was recently introduced in drm-misc-next
and which is not yet present in struct drm_cmdline_mode in drm-intel-next-queued.

So both patches can be pushed without issues to drm-misc-next, but then a
back-merge of drm-misc-next into dinq should be done to avoid future changes
to dinq causing causing conflicts. This seems the easiest way to merge this.
If you want I can push the 2 patch to drm-misc-next myself, then you can do
the backmerge after that.

Alternatively you could back-merge drm-misc-next into dinq before merging
these into dinq, but the first patch changes some generic code, so then another
backmerge of dinq into drm-misc-next should probably be done after that, so
that seems suboptimal.

Regards,

Hans
