I'm sorry your prior patch was not applied. I was not in Cc I just hadn't
seen it, and no one else had reviewed or applied it so far.

This is a communication issue, sometimes patches just fall into the cracks
(it happened to mine several times). This can easily happen with a complex
development workflow and high amount of patches as DRM has. The workflow
can be possibly improved, as well as my personal workflow perhaps.

But I don't see any lack of decency here. Definitely a polite and
respectful answer would be appreciated and would help the communication.

Removing driver_private where it is unused would be good. Would you mind
sending a patch doing that? I'll try to spot it, but if I'm in Cc it will
be much easier.
