That is quick :)  Fine by me, but I've a whole bunch of
modesetting / prime patches (all bugfixes really) I would like to get in
before then.

These have been reviewed and are awaiting pushing:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/106849/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/106850/

These are waiting for review:

modesetting: Implement DRI2InfoRec version 9 callbacks series:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/105350/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/105351/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/105352/

modesetting: Fall back to primary crtc for vblank for drawables on slave outputs:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/107787/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/107096/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/107269/

cursor: add hw cursor support for prime
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/108662/


While asking for reviews, I know that Peter is waiting for
this one to get reviewed, and I believe this should also
get merged for 1.19:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/106534/

And while looking at patchwork, I noticed that we've
a bunch of input threading fixes for xf86-input-evdev,
xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-kbd pending which need
to get reviewed / pushed too:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90137/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90345/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90480/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90481/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90479/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/90540/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/92198/

Regards,

Hans
