lgtm, but needs an ack from Tomi for merging through drm trees. Tomi?

Aside: When resending patches please include all the r-b/acks and Cc:
people who participated in the discussion explicitly. That includes
conditional r-b tags if you do the changes (like some of the r-b I'm doing
right now). Makes life _much_ easier for maintainers ;-)
