Hi Lu,

The patches have already been merged into our tree and are heading
towards 5.11, so I don't think we should merge them elsewhere. DRM
subsystem had the feature freeze for 5.10 at the time of 5.9-rc5
and only drm-intel-fixes pull requests are sent after that.

The patches seem to target to eliminate need for a previously used
workaround. To me it seems more appropriate for the patches to follow
the regular process as new feature for 5.11 to make sure the changes
get validated as part of linux-next.

Would that work for you? We intend to send the feature pull requests
to DRM for 5.11 in the upcoming weeks.

Regards, Joonas
