As per discussion on IRC, I'm not going to apply this to drm-misc-next.

Given where we are in the cycle landing in drm-misc-next means it
won't be in mainline for a couple versions and I suspect that'll cause
merge conflicts with Dmitry's series [1]. ...and, of course, if
Dmitry's series lands then we don't even need ${SUBJECT} patch...

So I think the plan is:

1. Snooze waiting for the next -rc1 since
drm_connector_set_orientation_from_panel() won't be in mainline until
then.

2. If Dmitry's series looks like a long way off, we could land
${SUBJECT} patch in msm-next as a stopgap fix.
