Thanks.

See MAINTAINERS, many of the drivers are maintained in the same drm-misc
repo, and it makes no difference to split those.

In general it's, well, trivial to split up patches like this per driver
or repo, but not splitting it up generates extra busywork in managing
conflicts until some common merge/backmerge happens. We just want to
apply the patch and forget about it, instead of dealing with a trivial
whitespace cleanup many times over.

BR,
Jani.
