Thanks for the fixup. Since Dave is out I've made a note about this in my
handover mail so it won't get lost in the drm-next merge window pull. I
don't think we need any other coordination than mention it in each pull to
Linus, topic tree seems overkill for this. Plus there's no way I can
untangle the drm tree anyway :-).
