Apologies, I usually rely on dim to pick up all the correct r-bs and 
acks from the ML and to warn me if something is missing, and I didn't 
realize that it hadn't automagically picked up the ack.

I'm assuming you mean the i915 maintainers here, given that there is an 
ack from Greg in this email? Rodrigo was in the loop of us needing to 
merge this via drm, so I thought I was good on that side. I'll make sure 
to have an explicit ack on the ML next time (which is coming relatively 
soon, because there are some more mei patches in the DG2 HuC series).

Will do. And apologies again for the mistake.
