Thank you!

Related, I noticed the patch "fbdev: hyperv_fb: iounmap() the correct
memory when removing a device" is also in the fbdev for-next branch.
Wei Liu previously applied this patch to the hyperv-fixes tree (see [1])
and it's already in linux-next. Won't having it also in fbdev produce a
merge conflict?
