Sorry, my mistake.
I ran checkpatch.pl from the drm-misc tree's drm-misc-next branch, which the series is based on.
That tree does not have commit 1e035297ffda ("docs: remove Assisted-by references") yet, so its checkpatch.pl still accepts the Assisted-by tag.
With checkpatch.pl from mainline I can see the warnings now. I will drop the tag in v6 and check the patches with checkpatch.pl from mainline before sending.
One question so I get v6 right: should I keep basing the series on drm-misc-next, since the bridge patches go through drm-misc, and only
use mainline for checkpatch.pl and the other tools? Or would you prefer the series to be based on mainline?
Thanks,
Hermes
