I'm still not 100% sure how this is going down, and I'm meant to be off today,

Don't send this as patches to drm-misc-next, but I think we'd want
this in drm-next for a cycle before sending it to Linus, but maybe
it's not directly interfering with the kernel so it's fine

Ideally when the real merge window opens and drm-next is merged I'd
want to have a branch + PR written for this against drm-next that I
can send to Linus separately and see how it goes.

Dave.
