Hi Zack,
Please make sure to always cc dri-devel and/or Daniel on these so if I'm away they don't get lost, but also so that they make it into patchwork for processing.
If you have a chance can you resend it, I'll see if we can process this out of band and get it to Linus before release.
Hi, Dave.
Thank you! I just noticed that you've sent it out. Would you still like me to resend it through dri-devel? The patches all went through dri-devel already, I just assumed that from dri-misc docs that drm-misc-fixes wouldn't be merged again until after 5.13 was out which is why I went directly.
drm-misc-fixes will get pulled into the merge window when it misses the last release (which would be 5.12). drm-misc-next-fixes is the special branch which is for fixes during the merge window time, for issues in drm-next (so for 5.13).
I know that ideally maintainters would just cherry-pick bugfixes to the right release branch (like on mesa or xserver or well any other reasonable project), but since drm-misc is volunteer run committers need to pick the right branch. But aside from that drm-misc is always open for bugfixes (and also always open for feature work). -Daniel
