I probably missed something, but I fail to see what's the problem.

If DRM needs a patch that was already merged on our tree, I can gladly
create a stable branch/tag for it - well, media master branch is stable,
but I can add a tag there just after the patch DRM needs, in order
to avoid them to merge from us at some random point.

If otherwise we need a patch applied at DRM, they can do the same:
create a branch/tag, and I can pull from it.

Thanks,
Mauro
