Hi all,

After merging the drm-misc tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

Caused by commit

8c4ae21891255 (drm: verisilicon: add support for cursor planes)

interacting with

5164f7e7ff8ec (drm: Rename struct drm_atomic_state to drm_atomic_commit)

which appears to be an ancestor of the verisilicon commit. I have used
the version from next-20260522 instead.
