Yeah, we've talked about switching to dim a few times already. IMO, the big win
for msm would be inclusion in drm-tip to catch integration issues early, and
dim's sanity checks around tags. Selfishly, this would also reduce dim's
complaints when backmerging drm into drm-misc  :-).

That said, would the committers we'd want to add to msm (Qualcomm employees) be
receptive to (or even able to install/download) dim? I'm not sure on this one.

At any rate, last time we discussed dim, we agreed the first step was to get
msm on gitlab so we can easily add commit access and go from there. I think
we're probably just at the end of that transition period, so everything is on
track!
