TL;DR:

• On 2020-12-05, drm-intel-next-queued will be decommissioned
• drm-intel committers need to start using drm-intel-next instead
• Everyone needs to upgrade dim *after* the change

This has now been done. Please update dim, and start using drm-intel-next for applying i915 patches. Thank you.

BR, Jani.

Full story:

For historical reasons, we've had separate drm-intel-next-queued ("dinq") and drm-intel-next ("din") branches for development and pull requests, respectively. This split has not been necessary for a while now, so we'll finally remove dinq, and start applying patches directly to drm-intel-next.

We'll make the switch on 2020-12-05.

This change requires a flag-day change in dim, i.e. everyone will need to upgrade dim *after* the switch. (The details of the flag-day change are covered in [1].)

All the current dinq related commands and aliases (such as 'dim conq', 'dim aq', and 'dim pq') will continue to work, except they'll operate on drm-intel-next.

BR, Jani.
