If we can or can not reproduce the issue with drm-tip, is a very useful
datapoint for us. If we can not reproduce, it'll be possible to bisect
which commit fixed it, and backport that. On the other hand, if it's
still reproducible, we know we're not spending time on something we
already fixed, and the priority gets a bump.

linux-next is closer to drm-tip, so it's better. Do you have some
specific reason for not wanting to run drm-tip (but linux-next is still
ok)?
