The added empty line above creates a problem for scripts/checkpatch.pl--and
there's a few others here and there. It'd be a good idea to run this series
through checkpatch.pl, if at least informatively.

I wasn't able to apply patch 13 to drm-misc-next or any other known to me
branch, and I didn't see base tree information in the cover letter. I skipped
it and it compiled okay without it.
