Correct, I wasn't able to add it to my tree because David Airlie hadn't
pulled the previous merge request, so it missed the 4.18 merge window.

The reason for me acking the patch was so that /someone else/ could
pick it up instead, and that obviously also didn't happen - maybe the
drm-misc tree was closed for new work at the point you sent the patch.

I've picked this patch up now, thanks.
