No since I was on holidays until the just before the merge window opened, the patches did get posted to lkml but missed your cc. Well we'd like to make sure people go via the staging menus to get at the kconfig option for now, granted it probably doesn't matter whether it goes in staging menus or in drm depends on CONFIG_STAGING. Up to you I can post a patch after this merge to move it to drm. Since its only temporary I'm not hugely pushed about taint.
