Mea culpa.
AMDs mail servers convert incoming mail to a different encoding which prevents the patch from applying cleanly (yeah everybody knows how braindead that is).
Usually I pick up patches from patchwork now, but this time I though I could apply the one liner manually.
Well long story short that didn't worked the way it should.
I've just reviewed and pushed this patch to drm-misc-fixes as well.
Thanks a lot for helping out here.
Sorry,
Christian.
