Kinda. I mean, you're absolutely right for pretty that it's implicit in
most places in the kernel.

However, it's not here. The drm-misc tree is meant to collect the
patches for all those small drivers, and we don't have a folder to put
these drivers under.

It was pretty confusing to differentiate a driver maintained through its
own tree, and one maintained through drm-misc, so at least explicitly
having the git tree set to drm-misc is how we show that's where the
patches are going to land.
