For next time around, just ping one of the drm-misc (or drm maintainers)
for an ack to merge it through a different tree. Or ask them what they
want to do. committer model isn't 100% free-wheeling, for cross-tree stuff
you still have maintainers who're supposed to do their jobs :-)

But by default everyone will assume you'll just commit, so you need to
poke them explicitly (like you've done here).
