This was discussed in the past.
For now the focus is migrating existing logging to the new drm_ based

Please note this in the changelog when you resend.
I delete your original patches so they are gone now from my mail-box.
Yeah, could dig them up somewhere, but it is easier to let you resend
them and then we can have an updated changelog too.
