This is better, except for the first commit:

 [DON'T PULL] drm/i915/dmc: split out dmc registers to a separate file
 THIS PATCH WILL GO THROUGH DRM-INTEL-NEXT TO UPSTREAM

 Clean up the massive i915_reg.h a bit with this isolated set of
 registers.

 v2: Remove stale comment (Lucas)

Clean the commit message and send that as a proper PR to
drm-intel-next, then everything else is OK.
