OK, fair enough.

OK, I'll apply for drm-misc rights. Sam also encouraged me to do this in
a previous email. Since this series will be followed by a bunch of other
patches, enabling support for video planes, among other things, I guess
I'll need the rights anyway.

Thanks Lucas. As a matter of fact, after Sam's email, I was preparing a
v10 after rebasing to latest drm-next. However, no conflicts were encountered
and the v9 series applied cleanly. Let me know if you encounter any
issues and I can resend it.
Thanks,
Laurentiu
