Oh I see what you all did here.
I give up. You all need to stop it with the duplicated git commit ids all over the place. It's a major pain and hassle all the time and is something that NO OTHER subsystem does.
Yes, I know that DRM is special and unique and running at a zillion times faster with more maintainers than any other subsystem and really, it's bigger than the rest of the kernel combined, but hey, we ALL are a common project here. If each different subsystem decided to have their own crazy workflows like this, we'd be in a world of hurt. Right now it's just you all that is causing this world of hurt, no one else, so I'll complain to you.
We have commits that end up looking like they go back in time that are backported to stable releases BEFORE they end up in Linus's tree and future releases. This causes major havoc and I get complaints from external people when they see this as obviously, it makes no sense at all.
And it easily breaks tools that tries to track where backports went and if they are needed elsewhere, which ends up missing things because of this crazy workflow. So in the end, it's really only hurting YOUR subsystem because of this.
And yes, there is a simple way to fix this, DO NOT TAG COMMITS THAT ARE DUPLICATES AS FOR STABLE. Don't know why you all don't do that, would save a world of hurt.
I'm tired of it, please, just stop. I am _this_ close to just ignoring ALL DRM patches for stable trees...
