This should be mentioned in the pull request, but as the branch
submitted for DRM/KMS has to be based on 

The simplest (and maybe only) option is to base the branch for the
DRM/KMS subsystem on Vinod's branch. It's however good to mention this
explicitly in the pull request, stating that the base branch is
scheduled for merge in v5.10 through the PHY tree.
