Then why is it coming in with a different git id into Linus's tree?
This is really really annoying, as I have been saying for years.
There's no way for me to know the difference between "this didn't apply
for some reason" and "this did not apply because it is already in
Linus's tree and has been backported already". So I end up with loads
of failures and you end up with an inbox full of junk.
And then the _real_ failures that we need backports for get lost in the
noise.
There's no reason why the DRM subsystem is somehow so special that it is
the only one broken this way...
