It looks as if Neil applied quite a few of them already, so I looked at what was left... I'm a little hesitant to just apply the whole kit-and-caboodle to drm-misc-next since there are specific DRM trees for a bunch of them and it would be better if they landed there. ...so I went through all the patches that still applied to drm-misc-next, then used 'scripts/get_maintainer.pl --scm' to check if they were maintained through drm-misc. That still left quite a few patches. I've applied those ones and pushed to drm-misc-next: 71722685cd17 drm/xlnx/zynqmp_dpsub: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 1ed54a19f3b3 drm/vc4: Convert to platform remove callback returning void b957812839f8 drm/v3d: Convert to platform remove callback returning void e2fd3192e267 drm/tve200: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 84e6da7ad553 drm/tiny: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 34cdd1f691ad drm/tidss: Convert to platform remove callback returning void d665e3c9d37a drm/sun4i: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 0c259ab19146 drm/stm: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 9a865e45884a drm/sti: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 3c855610840e drm/rockchip: Convert to platform remove callback returning void e41977a83b71 drm/panfrost: Convert to platform remove callback returning void cef3776d0b5a drm/panel: Convert to platform remove callback returning void bd296a594e87 drm/mxsfb: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 38ca2d93d323 drm/meson: Convert to platform remove callback returning void fd1457d84bae drm/mcde: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 41a56a18615c drm/logicvc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 980ec6444372 drm/lima: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 82a2c0cc1a22 drm/hisilicon: Convert to platform remove callback returning void c3b28b29ac0a drm/fsl-dcu: Convert to platform remove callback returning void a118fc6e71f9 drm/atmel-hlcdc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 9a32dd324c46 drm/aspeed: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 2c7d291c498c drm/arm/malidp: Convert to platform remove callback returning void a920028df679 drm/arm/hdlcd: Convert to platform remove callback returning void 1bf3d76a7d15 drm/komeda: Convert to platform remove callback returning void The following ones appeared to apply to the top of drm-misc-next, but I didn't apply them since get_maintainer didn't say they were part of drm-misc-next: drm/tiny: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/tilcdc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/sprd: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/shmobile: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/rcar-du: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/omap: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/nouveau: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/mediatek: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/kmb: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/ingenic: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/imx/ipuv3: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/imx/dcss: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/etnaviv: Convert to platform remove callback returning void drm/armada: Convert to platform remove callback returning void -Doug
