It came in late enough last cycle that it didn't make it into 4.9 (this is just a clean up not a critical bug fix), so I queued it for 4.10.  I try to reply when I apply a patch, but sometimes I miss one here and there.  Once Dave starts the drm-next tree for 4.10, it will be included in my pull request.  Pending -next patches are in my drm-next-<kernel version>-wip tree until I send Dave a formal request.

For bug fixes we usually send Dave ~weekly pull requests for each -rc as necessary.  For -next stuff, each driver usually sends at least one, sometimes several pull requests for the next merge window.
