Thanks for your support!

I just checked the rules to become a commiter, and it requires at least 10 
non-trivial patches, so I can't apply right now.

Few months ago, you seemed interested in merging few patchs from [1] ([2] 
is the last iteration and can be applied on drm-misc/drm-misc-next, and 
I just ran few igt tests, they pass), can you do it so I can apply to be a 
commiter? Thanks a lot!
