Re: [PATCH] drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

Hmm, from here it looks like the patch now that it was reviewed more
that a week ago is still not even in -next. Is there a reason?

I know, we are in the merge window. But at the same time this is a fix
(that already lingered on the lists for way too long before it was
reviewed) for a regression in a somewhat recent kernel, so it in Linus
own words should be "expedited"[1].

Or are we again just missing a right person for the job in the CC?
Adding Dave and Sima just in case.

Ciao, Thorsten
