Being the culprit here - thanks for the patience and report.

I believe that both AMD and drm-misc teams are aware of this lovely
situation I've put them in.
As you mentioned drm-misc is a bit special and doing the usual
backmerge will be fun.

If you have any tips on how to minimise such issues, I'd gladly utilise them.

Thanks again,
