It was acked by Andrew to be merged through a drm tree, since it was
part of a graphics driver functionality. It was preceded by a fairly
lenghty discussion on linux-mm / linux-kernel.

It was merged into drm-next on 19-11-28, I think that's when it
normally is seen by linux-next. Merged into mainline 19-11-30. Andrew's
tree got merged 19-12-05.

linux-next signaled a merge conflict from one of the patches in this
series (not this one) resolved manually with the akpm tree on 19-12-02.
