I've applied the patch with the reworded commit message into my repo, but then didn't push it out as I was planning on batching this with some other patches. This didn't happen due to other tasks pushing this down in my priority list.

It works okay as long as there are some more patches queued, but small patches tend to get deferred for too long. I'm pondering the idea of applying small fixes directly into drm-misc to get them on a more predictable schedule to upstream. This will require some changes to my workflow and I'll probably announce this via a appropriate change to MAINTAINERS, as soon as I'm ready to make the switch. Regards, Lucas
