Thanks for volunteering! I am not a DRM maintainer, so I'll let others
chime in, but I suspect you should just send a patch to add yourself to the
MAINTAINERS entry and (as a separate patch?) remove Adrien, unless he
speaks up by then.

dri-devel is flooded by patches, driver-specific ones will unavoidably be
missed in lack of a responsive maintainer. So this is not a glitch, it's a
frequent pattern I'm afraid.

As above, if you were in the MAINTAINERS entry, look at patches and comment
on them, and test on hardware that would be great IMHO.

For this one patch: it looks OK.

Adding the "why" would be better, which I assume to be power saving. No
need to sned a v2 just for that though.

I'm applying it in ~1 week. It would be good if you could check it still
applies on drm-misc-next before that, report back if it does, send a v2
(adding the "why") if it doesn't.
