Yeah, I wasn't sure about that one indeed. I remained conservative since it's a
sensitive topic for some.

Paul, is drm/ingenic supposed to be maintained through drm-misc? Either way,
could you clarify which git tree is supposed to merge those patches in
MAINTAINERS?

For gma500, I think it's mostly historical since it was there before drm-misc
was a thing.

It's likely :)

Either way, I think it can be solved/clarified later on
