For good measure I build tested each patch on my setup - which covers a
few more archs (cross compiled).
There was a few checkpatch warnings when applying, which I happily ignored.
Most/all are existing flaws where you do other edits in the relevant
line.

I consider the series ready to be applied to drm-misc, but have not done
so myself.
I have pinged Daniel Vetter on irc - as he was the one suggesting the
task from the very beginning.
