How about a "Fixes:" tag so that we know what commit id it fixes so we know how far back to backport things? And a hint to the maintainers that "this is an issue that needs to get into 5.8-final, it shouldn't wait around longer please" would have also been nice to see :) And what chagned from v1, aren't you supposed to list that somewhere in the changelog or below the --- line (never remember what DRM drivers want here...) Care to send a v3? thanks, greg k-h
