Good riddance!

Missing one more:
commit abbc0697d5fbf53f74ce0bcbe936670199764cfa

    drm/fb: revert the i915 Actually configure untiled displays from master
   
    This code moved in here in master, so revert it the same way.
   
    This is the same revert as 9fa246256e09 ("Revert "drm/i915/fbdev:
    Actually configure untiled displays"") in drm-fixes.
   
    Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxxxx>

Can we unrevert that now?

With that fixed, on the whole series:
