Given the lack of answers, and that it looks correct to me, just leave
it there. We can always revert later on if things turned out to be
broken.

I agree, or at least, we shouldn't wait for Shawn or Sasha...

... As long as Ying is fine with it, because it does look like they are
the actual maintainer.

Yes, they should be applied to drm-misc.
That being said, putting a two days timeout on *any* email is really
over-the-top. I doubt you reply to any of your mail in such a short
