Filters of my mailbox are considered for two cases, one is DRI mailing
list, other is drm/exynos.
So if you don't use the drm/exynos prefix, then I would try to find your
patch in DRI mailing list - I sometimes check the mailing list. However,
the mailing list have so much emails so it'd be not easy to pick up only
exynos relevant patches among the email lists. As a result, you would
get the my review lately.

Right, this is not documented but if you have ever checked exynos drm
driver tree, then I think you could know how we use the prefix. Of
course, I don't like to force the use of this prefix but if you and
other people use prefix in the manner of them, exynos drm tree would be
a little bit messy. i.e., DRM: EXYNOS, drm: exynos, drm: Exynos,
drm/exynos, drm/exynos: fimd, drm: exynos: fimd, DRM: EXYNOS: FIMD, ...
 so many cases....  Do you really want this?

So I will always say "please, use right prefix" Otherwise, I will change
it while merging as is.
And I see that other drm drivers have their own way which is not
documented but just implicitly.
